Sylvia Clarke Legacy Fund
Funding support for Hallam students studying nursing, midwifery or allied health professions
Overview
Eligible students in the Department for Nursing and Midwifery and the Department of Allied Health Professions could access extra funding from the Sylvia Clarke Legacy Fund.
The fund is thanks to a generous donation from the estate of Sylvia Clarke, a community nurse who throughout her life always found ways to help those who needed it.
What you could get
The fund provides a limited number of scholarships and bursaries to students who are most at risk of financial hardship.
Scholarships are awarded to first year students, and provide £3,000 a year for three years, excluding placement years. The total award value is £9,000.
Bursaries are for final year students, and provide a smaller one-off payment.

You can apply if you:
- are a home fee student paying tuition fees of £9,250,
