Performance sport
By developing our Performance Sport Programme our vision is to help our top teams and athletes achieve success both in Scotland and around the world and enhance the University’s reputation for academic and sporting excellence.
Sports scholarships
At St Andrews we already attract the brightest minds. With a significant investment in sport over recent years, we are now attracting some of the most talented student athletes from around the world.
Part of this investment includes sports scholarships for undergraduate and postgraduate students.
The following performance sport scholarships and awards are available:
- Basketball (Women)
- Football (Women)
- Golf
- Hockey (Women)
- Lacrosse (Women)
- Netball
- Rowing
- Rugby (Men)
- Tennis
- Water Polo (Women)
Saints Sport Scholarship
Out with the 10 performance teams, performance support is available for exceptional individuals competing at an elite level (usually internationally depending on the sport and nationality) via the Saints Sport Scholarship.
Arnold Palmer Golf Scholarship
We are incredibly fortunate to be only the second University in the world to be able to bestow upon a student an Arnold Palmer Scholarship. Mr Palmer’s relationship with St Andrews is legendary and was cemented in 2010 when he received his honorary doctorate from the University.
Thanks to the generosity of the 600 Club, we have been able to endow an Arnold Palmer Scholarship for students on our Performance Golf Programme.
