The Activities and Sports Participation Grant is run by the students’ association and provides support to students in order to assist with costs in joining and taking part in sports union or student association activities where costs may be prohibitive.

Why

As an institution, we have a responsibility to promote and facilitate equity of experience.  Our Activities and Sports Participation Grant is here to help students take part in Edinburgh University Students’ Association activities and University of Edinburgh Sports Union/Sports Clubs activities. The fund promotes participation in the extra and co-curricular and enables participation by reducing financial burdens.

What

Students can apply for a grant of up to £200. The money applied for can be used towards activities hosted by Edinburgh University Students’ Association, University of Edinburgh Sports Club or sports activities. Students can also apply for money towards a Sports and Exercise gym membership, only where it is compulsory for the sports club membership. Examples of eligible activity include club/society membership; kit and equipment; tournament, competition, class fees, or travel costs.

Who

This grant is only for UK undergraduate students who are (or Postgraduate students who were) in receipt of a University of Edinburgh Access Scholarship. Students with the following criteria may be considered and are encouraged to apply: have a disability; student carer; student parent; care-experienced; or estranged student.
