Sheffield Hallam University is offering Transform Together Scholarships for high-achieving international (non-UK) students starting full-time taught undergraduate or postgraduate courses in the 2026/2027 academic year (mainly September 2026 entry).
These competitive scholarships reward excellence and help transform your future while contributing to the university community.
Scholarship Benefits
- 50% tuition fee waiver (half-fee discount) for the first year of study.
- Undergraduate: Applied in Year 1 (you must complete each year to continue on the course).
- Postgraduate: Applied in the first year of your taught course.
- Successful scholars receive recognition for their achievement and are expected to act as university ambassadors during their studies and after graduation.
- Note: The scholarship is a fee reduction only (no cash alternative). It is non-transferable, non-deferrable, and you can receive only one scholarship or discount per course (the highest value applies if eligible for multiple).

- For postgraduate applicants only: Hold a minimum 2.1 honours degree (or international equivalent) and be progressing to postgraduate study for the first time (no prior postgraduate qualification).
