This is an account of the growth and development of a scholarship scheme at one university, located in a wider context of expansion of sport in higher education. In itself the scheme is not profoundly significant but its importance lies in the impact it has had on elite student sport in Universities across Britain. It led the way until the Government was prepared to fund a national scholarships scheme. It provided a model for development based on partnerships with national governing bodies of sport. It is a genuine success story for a small Scottish university
