Overview

If you are applying to study at Teesside University and have applied to the Teesside University Football Academy, you could be eligible for a scholarship.

George Friend, an English professional footballer, started his career at Exeter City before moving on to Wolverhampton Wanderers, Doncaster Rovers, and Middlesbrough in 2012. He captained Middlesbrough for the first time in 2015, quickly becoming a fan favourite and a popular player on and off the pitch for his charity work and engagement with the local community. Now at Birmingham City, George still visits Teesside often and retains a strong affection for the region - he gives his time and support to the new Football Academy and generously established this scholarship to support students develop their footballing skills during their studies.
