Our time here instilled in us the core principles of integrity and fair play. Our education also gave us the confidence and expertise in sport education and the communication skills needed to go out and improve the lives of others through physical education and sport, help people in the community and serve the wider society.

We hope that the scholarship will allow the recipients to make the most of university life and help them to make those same lifelong friendships and bonds which have supported us all in both good and challenging times."

"After studying sport-related courses at school and college I decided that Sport and Exercise Science was the right course for me to study at Leeds Beckett University.

Iliana Legkou BSc (Hons) Sport and Exercise Science
"Throughout my life, sport and exercise has always been really important to me. I quickly realised that I would love to help, encourage, and support others to benefit from taking care of their own physical health and wellbeing."

Abigail Taylor BSc (Hons) Sport and Exercise Science
"Physical Education doesn't always need to be associated with the sporting success that comes with participation. Sports education helps you to practise empathy and to appreciate that nobody is the same and that the differences people have are the things that can unite us."

Jamieleigh Neale-Wright BA (Hons) Physical Education
"I believe that sport can be a vital part of a young person’s life as it allows them to have an outlet for their emotions, and teaches them numerous different transferable skills."

Elsbeth Innes BA (Hons) Physical Education
"Making a real positive difference is hugely important to me and being able to support others to achieve better health and mobility is something I look forward to being able to facilitate."

Aimee Newman BSc (Hons) Sport & Exercise Therapy
"Making a real positive difference is hugely important to me and being able to support others to achieve better health and mobility is something I look forward to being able to facilitate."

Kinga Wota BA (Hons) Physical Education
"My mother passed away the year just before I came to Leeds Beckett so leaving my father was difficult. I would like to complete my degree in remembrance of her, she was extremely proud and excited when I was offered my place at university. She was my greatest support and best friend."
