Post-16 Boys Football Scholarship Programme 2022
Cambridge Regional College and St Neots Town Football Club have come together to deliver a Post 16 Football Scholarship Programme from September 2022.
St Neots Town Football Club and Cambridge Regional College have been working together to develop a scholarship programme that will encompass a BTEC Level 3 Sports qualification, delivered from the Huntingdon campus alongside professional football coaching at Rowley Park, home of St Neots Town FC. In addition to the study and training schedule, the scholarship squads will compete against other UK colleges in the British Colleges League.
This programme is equivalent to three A Levels and will provide you with the learning opportunities and experiences required for a career in the broad sports-related industries. The Extended Diploma is also recognised as an entry qualification for Higher Education.
