Scholarship Opportunity for IUSCA Accredited (aISCP) graduates.
We are pleased to highlight several scholarship opportunities with our partner institution, Sacred Heart University, for those progressing within the IUSCA Practitioner Pathway.
These scholarships offer hands-on opportunities within collegiate and high-school athletics as part of the Master’s in Exercise & Sport Science, providing a structured route into applied practice and research, with opportunities including:
• S&C coaching
• Research graduate assistantships within applied sport science environments
• Hands-on experience across multiple sports
• Integration within coaching and research teams
This is a practical, applied programme designed to develop both coaching and scientific capability in real performance settings.
Places are limited and subject to acceptance onto the programme.
📍 Applications now open for Fall 2026
📧 Contact: taberc@sacredheart.edu
For those looking to continue their development beyond aISCP, this represents a strong next step within an integrated academic and applied environment.
