University of Sheffield Scholarship 2023

Hi, I'm applying for the Sheffield £10,000 scholarship and just wanted to know if anyone else has too. How do they choose students?

I'm torn between where I did my undergraduate (uni of York) and Sheffield. Sheffield actually seems to make an effort In being inclusive and diverse and my mum lives in Barnsley so I could save money and live with her as the course is part-time. However my bf is doing a PhD at York and I much prefer a campus atmosphere. But York is crap at actually supporting poor students and accomodation is very expensive. I'd be regularly visiting my bf, but Barnsley is very cheap to live. But not very many part time jobs compared to York. Tough decision aahh.

Hi there!

Im Georgia, a 4th year masters student. I actually got a scholarship for my masters to cover the tuition fee for the year! Sadly I wasn't able to claim it as it was conditional to me graduating with a 1st and i only actually came our with a 2:1. So might be worth fully understanding the conditions of the scholarship beforehand!

But you are right Sheffield is super supportive of students, especially people like me who come from a working class background. Even if you weren't to get the scholarship there are lots of things you can apply for throughout your 3 years here so it might be worth looking into these in comparison to York. Its also worth mentioning that although york is a campus set up as you mentioned, Sheffield is technically a campus/city uni as all the buildings are within 1 mile of each-other so as a student i can defiantly say it has that community vibe you can feel at campus unis.

In terms of jobs it also worth mentioning you can quite easily travel outside of Barnsley for work opportunities, i work at Meadowhall with lots of students who live in Barnsley as it is only a train ride away!

Hope that helps, let me know if there is anything else!
