Introduction
The Edinburgh Napier Students’ Association (ENSA) and Edinburgh Napier University have combined their resources and established a fund to support Edinburgh Napier University students’ participation in elite level and representative sport. This fund is intended to support those students who due to the cost of participating in the competition would not otherwise be able to take part, as well as facilitating success in competitive sport at an elite level.
