International Undergraduate Scholarship 2025

We are offering scholarships of £2,500 for each year (subject to a 60% average) of your undergraduate degree. The maximum value is £10,000 for four year programmes.

Eligibility

• You must commence your studies of an undergraduate degree at the University of Sheffield in September 2026. All undergraduate degree courses are included except for Medicine (A100/A101) and Dentistry (A200).

• You must choose the University of Sheffield as your firm or insurance choice before 4pm (UK time) on 3 June 2026.

Further information 

• The scholarship is applicable to each subsequent academic year of study, subject to achieving 60% (wmg) or above and achieving a minimum of 120 credits in the previous academic year. The scholarship is not applicable to any compulsory or optional years in industry, work placements or year abroad.

• You must enter a degree programme at the University of Sheffield in year 1. If you are entering in year 2 or year 3, you would be eligible for this scholarship, providing you are not receiving a scholarship/award as part of a collaborative programme with your home institution.

• The scholarship will be awarded automatically if you choose the University of Sheffield as your firm or insurance choice before 4.00pm (UK time) on 3 June 2026 – no additional scholarship application is required in the first or any subsequent years.

• The scholarship cannot be awarded in conjunction with any other scholarship or discount offered by the University unless explicitly stated.

• The scholarship cannot be awarded in conjunction with any funding (full or partial) from an external sponsor**, excluding a loan, which has to be paid back in full. If you are receiving a loan (which has to be paid back in full) from an organisation to which we offer a discount, you are not able to combine this scholarship with the discount – the most valuable award will take precedence.

• Students who are studying at the University on a non-USIC Foundation year are not eligible for this scholarship.

• The scholarship will take the form of a tuition fee reduction only.

• You must be self-funded and classified as overseas for tuition fee purposes.

• You must not be a sponsored student*.

• The scholarships are for full-time students only. Students studying online or via distance learning are not eligible for a scholarship.

• For scholarship purposes all MArch programmes are considered as postgraduate taught programmes and are not eligible for this or any undergraduate scholarships.

• This scholarship cannot be deferred to a future year of entry. If you decide to defer entry to another year you forfeit this award.

• It is your responsibility to ensure you receive any funding you are eligible for. Funding cannot be backdated to previous years regardless of eligibility.

* A sponsored student is defined as being an individual in receipt of a total sum of funds from either the University or an external organisation** that matches or exceeds the original tuition fee required by the University.

** Government or governmental organisation – international, national or regional; research council; charity; private enterprise; or any similar organisation.
