“I am honored to have the opportunity to study at RIOU,” said Lee upon his selection. “I have always dreamt of working in an international sports organisation, but it was difficult to gain expertise and build my career in this field.”

 

“When I heard about RIOU’s Master of Sport Administration programme, I instantly knew that this was the perfect opportunity for me because RIOU provides expert professors, wonderful educational environment, and internship opportunities. When I heard that I was one of the FISU-RIOU scholarship recipients I felt like I was one step closer to my dream. This is a big step in my sports career.”

 

As with all FISU scholarship opportunities, achievements in sport, education and social activity will be highly considered and preference will be given to top level athletes. As minimum requirements the candidates must have a higher education diploma and proof of working proficiency in English as the classes are conducted entirely in English.
