Application for a Elite Athlete Scholarship
At Laurea, we recognise the critical overlap between a sports career and studies. Therefore, Laurea aims to support the flexible combination of studying and sports, as well as promote the comprehensive well-being of students. Laurea wants to create opportunities for athletes not only to succeed in their sports careers but also to adapt to working life later on with the good skills provided by education.
We support our selected student-athletes with a scholarship of generally €1,000–€2,000. Granting the scholarship requires a cooperation agreement between the student and Laurea. The content of the agreement is negotiated together with the student-athlete. The agreement can include, for example, visibility on competition or game attire, social media, interview, and the use of images.
To receive support, the athlete must be studying at Laurea. The supported activities must align with Laurea’s values. The selection of supported athletes emphasises the goals in sports, the need for financial support, and success in studies. The applicants' study credits will be checked in Laurea's study register.
The application period for the scholarship is 7-18 October 2024. Laurea’s strategic communications will select the supported athletes based on the applications together with the athlete liaison.
The information on the application form will be used solely for the scholarship application process.
