What is the Talented Athlete Scholarship Scheme? - TASS

TASS is a Government funded programme that represents a unique partnership between sport and higher and further education.

TASS is about developing talent today for sporting success tomorrow.

TASS bridges the gap in sports talent development pathway between junior representative sport and world-class levels for our most talented 16 to 25 year old sportspeople.

The TASS programme has been created to help hundreds to fulfil their sporting potential by maintaining a sensible balance between academic life and employment whilst training and competing as a performance athlete.

The programme distributes awards to talented athletes that are committed to combining their sport and education. It aims to reduce the drop out of talented athletes from sport and supports and develops the talent of today for sporting success in the future.
