Alexxus Davis and Valerie Hajek were selected as part of the Global Graduate Sport Scholarship in association with Trinity Business School and E3. This scholarship enables talented international student athletes to compete at a high level within their sport whilst completing a postgraduate academic programme at Trinity. Thomas Stevens and Jack Dunne receive this year’s Trevor West Scholarship which is awarded to exceptional athletes who have shown outstanding contribution to sport at Trinity and within their respective sport clubs. Matthew Dossett, Deputy Head of Sport and Recreation commented: 'We’re delighted to announce a very strong calibre of scholars for 2021 / 22. With 15 sports represented and a diverse range of Olympic medallists, internationally recognised and developing athletes, this is among our strongest list of recipients yet.' He continued, 'The ever-improving standards of the support structure available to our highest performing athletes and teams in Trinity has enabled a continued growth in applications. Improving our capability to attract and support talented athletes is a key objective for Trinity Sport, and this continual process will ensure that Trinity remains a strong destination of choice for the very best student athletes both domestically and internationally. I’d like to congratulate this year’s scholars and wish everyone the very best of sporting and academic success for the season ahead.' Among the benefits on offer to scholars are specialised strength and conditioning training, a dedicated medical care pathway, lifestyle, nutritional and financial support. An event to celebrate this year’s scholars was held on 16 November, during which Trinity Sport student athletes who competed at Tokyo 2020 took part in a lively Olympic themed panel discussion.
