The Football Scholarship programme offered at Wath Academy Sixth Form is a specialist 16–18 football programme delivering exceptional experiences to aspiring talented footballers. It is a realistic pathway into semi-professional/professional football, whilst studying at a highly successful sixth form.

The scholarship is an elite football development programme that ensures all students access a first class football experience in addition to their post-16 education.

All players on the scholarship programme undertake A levels or vocational subjects during the course, with further possibilities to acquire work-based qualifications, such as the FA Level 1 coaching qualification.

Scholars access a high quality football provision, working with coaches who have previously and currently still work within the professional game.

The programme involves training on a daily basis with the scholarship coaching team. This provides players with a fantastic opportunity to further develop their football education and knowledge of the game.
