The full-time Football & Education BTEC Scholarship programme provides 16 to 19-year-olds with the opportunity to continue their studies while training and playing in a professional footballing environment and for the first time will include both male and female teams.

The Academy, previously partnered with Morthyng for four years between 2018 and 2022, has a strong track record of success.

In 2021, Rugby Town Academy reached the FA Youth Cup Third Round Proper, defeating the likes of Solihull Moors and Morecambe before falling to Cheltenham Town at Butlin Road.

The programme has also helped develop players who have progressed into the Rugby Town first team, including Josh Thomas, Caine Elliott, MJ Semahimbo, Josh Steele, and Jamal Adams, while also helping to launch the careers of recent Shrewsbury Town signing Cally Stewart.
