Sheffield Hallam University Transform Together Scholarships

Transform Together Scholarships are exclusively for international and European Union (non-UK) students starting a full-time taught course in 2015/16 or 2016/17.

• 2015/16 - a full (100% discount) or half fee waiver (50% discount) is available for postgraduate courses and half fee waiver (50% discount) for each year of an undergraduate degree.
• 2016/17 - a half fee waiver (50%) is available for postgraduate courses and for each year of an undergraduate degree.

Scholarships are awarded to the highest achieving students who can demonstrate not only excellent academic achievement but also ambition, determination and dedication. They are not based purely on economic need. On your application form, you need to tell us about:

• your academic achievement
• significant things you have done to date which make you stand out from the crowd. This could include professional qualifications, benefits you have brought to your community and non-academic achievements.
• your skills, talents and special interests that demonstrate your ability and ambition
• your personal outlook, vision and passion that will help you to successfully deliver your future plans.
• how you would represent the University as an ambassador

If you are applying for a postgraduate scholarship you must have achieved the equivalent of a 2:1 in your undergraduate degree.
