NEWTOWN AFC SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMME – STARTING SEPTEMBER 2025

We’re delighted to announce that registrations of interest in our 2025 scholarship programme are now open.

Our scholarship programme for talented players aged beaten 16-18 is now in it’s second year of operation and is going from strength to strength.   The programme, overseen by our full time technical staff combines a full time training schedule with a full time education programme delivered with our partners at Newtown College.  Players who are interested should be;

  • Players currently excelling at academy level in the UK.
  • Players who have not attained scholarships in England.
  • Talented players who wish to carry on their education whilst taking part in a full time training model.
  • Players who feel they have the potential to play in the Cymru Premier league or EFL.

“It’s really exciting to see the scholarship programmes growth over the past 12months, the group we have this season is strong and I believe our full time training model and added contact time with the players will really help us bridge the gap between our development team and first team moving forwards.  Several scholars have already had first team involvement this season, whether that be in training or in games, so there is a really clear pathway and strategy for good young players at the football club”. Craig Williams – Head of Coaching, Newtown Academy.

As mentioned the players combine their football programme with a full time education pathway in the form of a level 2 or level 3 BTEC in Sport, the equivalent to up to 3 A levels.  This will ensure that players who wish to pursue further education opportunities such as university or football scholarships in the USA are given the opportunities and support to do so.

If you’re currently in year 11 or 12 or aged between 15-17 and are interested in a place on the scholarship programme in 2025 then please email [email protected] with the following information.
