University of Sheffield offering over 100 scholarships

We're offering 100+ scholarships worth £10,000 each for home students starting a taught postgraduate course in 2020


The scholarships are for students who meet at least one of our widening participation criteria and/or students who achieve a first in their undergraduate degree.


If your application is successful you can use the scholarship towards fees or living expenses – the choice is yours.
Eligibility criteria


  • You'll be studying a taught postgraduate course full-time or part-time for a maximum of four years.
  • You're domiciled in the UK or European Union and are not charged international rate fees.
  • You're not already qualified at masters level, or higher.
  • You're self funded. Courses funded by the NHS or the Initial Teacher Training bursary, or courses that are eligible for undergraduate funding such as integrated masters are not eligible.
  • You're from a group that is evidentially under-represented among the institution's taught masters population - see the widening participation criteria below.

How to apply
Selection process

  • have identified clearly how the scholarship will be beneficial to their student experience.
  • have clearly articulated future ambitions; these goals relate to the postgraduate degree he/she has applied for, and they involve appropriate and credible contribution from which others will benefit.

Applications are open. The deadline to submit your application is 5pm Monday 11 May



All applications will be reviewed by senior members of academic staff and/or Student Support Services staff.


When reviewing your application we'll look at personal circumstances, widening participation criteria and take into account academic achievements. All applications are anonymised and the decision is discretionary and final.
Please note the scholarship application is a separate process to applying for a course. Being awarded a scholarship does not guarantee you will be made an academic offer. To apply for a course please use our Postgraduate Online Application Form.


You are not required to apply for your course prior to submitting your scholarship application.
