About this template

An athletic scholarship is decided on things a general scholarship form never asks for, so this one is built around them. The first page covers the athlete, their school or club, year of study, and the sport, position, playing history and level reached, with the squads and representative teams they have played for. The second page is performance: personal bests or key statistics for their event or position, results from the last two seasons, honours and selections, video footage, current training volume, and two coach references with contact details, because a coach's word carries the most weight in this decision. It also records injuries and current fitness, and whether a physical is on file. The third page covers the rest: academic record and predicted results, whether they meet the programme's eligibility rules, other scholarships held or applied for, financial circumstances if need is part of the award, what they would do with the funding, and a personal statement. Award criteria vary by institution, so the form gathers evidence rather than implying a threshold.

Set it up step by step

1
Ask for the measures that matter
Let athletes report the statistics their sport uses rather than forcing everyone into the same fields; a coach reads them instantly.
2
Contact both references
Two coach references are the strongest evidence in an athletic award, and asking permission on the form makes contacting them straightforward.
3
Keep need separate from performance
Where need is part of the award, score it separately so a strong athlete is not disadvantaged by answering honestly.
4
Verify eligibility before offering
Governing body and institutional rules differ, and an award withdrawn after an offer causes real damage.

Mistakes to avoid

Using a general scholarship form, which asks nothing about position, statistics or coach references.
Not asking about other scholarships held, then discovering a funding conflict after the award.
Requesting footage without a link field, so applications arrive with video buried in an email thread.

What it pairs with

Most teams don't run this form on its own. These are the forms and systems it sits next to.

What to do with the responses

Shortlist on evidence, contact both references, check eligibility and any physical requirement, hold trials or interviews, then confirm awards in writing with conditions.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from a general scholarship application?

It adds sport, position, statistics, season results, footage, training volume, coach references and eligibility checks that a general form has no place for.

Is financial need considered?

Only if your award includes it. The question is optional and scored separately so it never counts against a strong athlete.

Do referees have to be coaches?

At least one should be, since coaching judgement is the strongest evidence available. The second can be academic or from another club.

Does the form guarantee eligibility?

No. Rules vary by institution and governing body, so it gathers the evidence and flags anything that needs checking before an offer.
