The scholarship team recognises that not all athletes come to University already at their peak potential. Therefore UBSport want to ensure there is a development pathway into scholarships and provide an opportunity to those on the fringe. Introduced in 2010, the inaugural ‘Lionheart Award’ is presented termly to recognise student-athletes who are not only performing at a significant level for their chosen sport, but also show dedication and leadership surpassing what is expected of UBSport club members. This is awarded to members who are not currently on any form of scholarship. It is hoped that with this award and the appropriate individual support, the athlete will progress onto full UBSport scholarship.
The recipient is able to enjoy most of the privileges usually exclusive to our scholars.
