Specialist Sports at 13+ and 16+ only
Seaford College will also consider specific scholarships in more specialised areas such as Golf, Equestrian and Sailing for candidates able to demonstrate exceptional talent and potential.
For specialist sports, the aspiring scholar will be expected to submit a portfolio (hard copy or online) demonstrating their commitment and prowess in their chosen field.
The Application Process
All aspiring Ad Alta Sports Scholars will be invited to the relevant scholarship trial days.
I applied for a scholarship at Seaford so I could pursue my sporting activities in school, particularly hockey. Sport has played an important role in developing my academic success and has encouraged me to work as hard in the classroom as I do on the sports field.
I have had amazing encouragement and sporting tips from my teachers which have allowed me to take things away from school sport into my sport outside of school.
In my private study periods, the facilities in the Johnson Centre allow me to work on
my strength and conditioning and complete my training programme. I have noticed my performance improve because of this; I can perform at a higher level than before and push
myself that little bit more every week.
After Seaford, I would like to go to Exeter University to study Sport Science. I would also love to carry on playing sport as I enjoy improving and I appreciate the positive effect it has on my education – it creates a healthy mind.
The sport scholarship at Seaford has helped me excel in sport and there has been a clear improvement from before. It has given me confidence in everyday life and improved me as a person.
