Nine scholarships to study sports management awarded by World Academy of Sport and World Archery

Nine people have been awarded scholarships towards a postgraduate certificate in international sports management with the University of London. The grants, covering 50% of the 3500 GBP tuition fee, were made available by World Archery and the World Academy of Sport.

Applications were received from current and former archers, coaches and individuals working in national federations.

All of the scholarship holders have already enrolled at the university and begun their course as part of the January 2021 intake. The group represents nine countries and four continents but will study remotely and self-paced, graduating over a period of one to five years.

Future opportunities to apply for scholarships will be announced on World Archery’s website.
