Talented Athlete Scholarship Scheme

​The Talented Athlete Scholarship Scheme (TASS) is an athlete support programme to help talented athletes with balancing the demands of their sport and studies to be the best in both.

Backed by Sport England, the TASS partnership brings together student-athletes, education institutions and sports to support our country’s most exciting young talents.

Each year, hundreds of student-athletes benefit from a programme of support services delivered by experienced practitioners at education institutions across England.

TASS is dedicated to developing its network of performance sport experts and continues to lead the way in providing lifestyle and wellbeing support for athletes in education.

TASS support more than 500 athletes in 38 Sport England sports. Nominated each year by their national governing body (NGB), these promising athletes are all eligible to represent England and have been identified as performing at the top of the Sport England Talent Pathway.
