Carnegie Class of 75-77 Scholarship

The Carnegie Family

The Carnegie Class of 75-77 Scholarship was set up by graduates who studied in the Carnegie School of Physical Education from 1975-77. The idea was to celebrate their time at Carnegie while enabling others to have the same opportunities, emphasising their ongoing connections and friendships as part of ‘the Carnegie family’.

The scholarship is awarded to one first year student each year studying in the Carnegie School of Sport, who has excelled in their entry qualifications, and is the first in their family to attend university.

Applications for this scholarship are now open for 2025/26 and will close on 4 January 2026. Students who meet the eligibility criteria have been contacted directly to invite them to apply. If you have not received an email from us and have checked that you meet the scholarship's Terms and Conditions listed on this page, please get in touch at alumni@leedsbeckett.ac.uk

The Class of 75-77 during their 50th anniversary reunion with their scholarship students

As graduates we still feel very strongly that we are part of a Carnegie family. We all agreed that we wanted to put something back so that current Carnegie students who might have financial difficulties could fulfil their learning ambitions, make the most of the same amazing educational experience that we all did, and be able to graduate and become part of that wider Carnegie family.
