Have you ever been in care?
Whether you're in care now or you've been in care in the past, we give you extra support to help you study here.
How can we help you?
If you apply to Sheffield Hallam you get
- a dedicated member of staff to link between you and your local authority
- help accessing all our support services
- help with your choice of course and accommodation
- entry onto our Compact Scheme (subject to requirements)
And you might be able to receive the Care Leaver Bursary, which gives you £1,500 for each year you're studying at Sheffield Hallam.

We care about supporting care leavers into university
We were one of the first six universities to be awarded the Buttle UK quality mark for our support for care-leaving students.
