School students in England starting Year 12 this September who are interested in racing keelboats and want to have a future career in sailing or sports science have the change to apply for the RYA’s Diploma in Sporting Excellence programme for 2022.
The Diploma in Sporting Excellence (DiSE) is a two-year education programme and a unique sporting qualification designed to meet the needs of student-athletes who exhibit the potential to achieve excellence in their sport.
DiSE supports young sailors in the talent system in England to combine sport and education so that they have the skills, knowledge, and competence to pursue sporting excellence alongside developing the skills and qualifications for a post-sailing career.
To be eligible for the DiSE programme, a student must meet the following criteria:
Be aged 16 to 18 and starting Year 12 in September 2022, in full-time education (or aged 19 to 24 if they have an Education, Health and Care (EHC) plan), when they start the programme.
Aspire to progress onto the British Keelboat Academy or other future performance programmes.
Be studying at a state education institute, or if a student attends a fee-paying school, they must be in receipt of one of a 50% scholarship. See the application form for further details.
Ideally have a minimum of five GCSEs at a minimum grade of 4 (or above), including Maths and English.
Applications must be submitted by 11.59pm on Sunday 4 September. If you have any issues with submitting the form, email dise@rya.org.uk. You will be notified by Friday 9 September if your application has been successful.
