The sports scholarship is granted from the state budget funds in order to promote dual career opportunities for high-class athletes studying at higher education institutions, combining studies with the development of sports skills, popularising student sport and promoting the preparation of athletes for participation in the Latvian national teams in their respective sports. The scholarship is to be used to promote the scholarship holders’ pursuit of higher education and development of sports skills.
LSFP President Einars Fogelis: “This is a time when we not only recognise an athlete’s achievements, but also support them on their journey to higher education. Each of these 52 scholarship recipients is not only a committed athlete, but also a diligent student, and these athletes are role models in pursuing dual careers, thinking about their future beyond sport. The sports scholarship is an investment not only in the development of individual talent, but also in the future of sport and education in Latvia as a whole.”
Congratulations to the students of the Bachelor’s study programme Business Psychology and the Master’s study programme Sport Management!
