We want your time at Sheffield Hallam University to be a success, and we know that might mean helping you with your finances. The Student Success Scholarship is our way to support you.
What you could get
The scholarship offers awards between £550 and £2,100. Most students get awards from the lower end of this scale, but if you belong to several of the priority groups below, you could be considered for the full amount.
You can only receive one award per year, and need to reapply each academic year.
Care Leavers Package
If you meet the criteria for the Student Success Scholarship and are also leaving local authority care, you could receive an extra bursary of up to £1,500.
Who can apply
You can apply for the Student Success Scholarship if you:
- are a fully enrolled, full or part-time undergraduate student,
- are paying £9,250 in tuition fees, or the part-time equivalent,
- have a household income of £62,311 or less,
- have been means tested by a UK student finance body, such as Student Finance England,
- have shared your household income with us in your maintenance loan application.
You are not eligible for this scholarship if:
- you receive a PGCE/Initial Teacher Training Scholarship/Bursary
- you receive an NHS Training Grant or Social Work Bursary
- it would negatively affect your eligibility for another scholarship/bursary
Your tuition fee payments can be self-funded or through a student loan.
Although you need to be means tested, you don't have to take out a maintenance loan to be eligible. If you can't be means tested, let us know by contacting Hallam Help.
