Over 300 Australian representatives, including more than 115 Olympians and almost 100 Wallabies, have studied at the University and graduated as leaders both on and off the sporting field. This year, over 370 student athletes across more than 35 sports became part of Australia's oldest and richest academic and sporting tradition. Over 260 elite athletes were offered sports scholarships, while more than 110 emerging athletes were placed on our Talented Athlete Program. We recognise that pursuing your academic and sporting goals simultaneously can be challenging. That's why as part of the Program, you can receive financial assistance, take advantage of some of Australia's finest sport and fitness facilities, and access a wide range of invaluable student athlete services.

In addition to applying through UAC, you must complete an application form and submit supporting documentation before the end of October 2011. To apply, please contact the University’s Admission Office on 8627 8210 or admissions.office@sydney.edu.au. http://www.susf.com.au/page/join_us_as_an_elite_athlete.html  UNE Early Entry UNE Early Entry is a program that allocates a place at UNE to current Year 12 or equivalent students based on their school’s recommendation rather than their final marks. Places are awarded to recognise your hard work and contribution to school life throughout your high school years.
