Social Work Bursary - Postgraduate
The Social Work Bursary is financial support for postgraduate MSW Social Work students administered by the NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA). The bursary provides comprehensive funding including a contribution towards tuition fees, non-income assessed and income-assessed bursaries, and Placement Travel Allowance. Additional support may be available depending on circumstances, including Adult Dependants Allowance, Childcare Allowance, Parents' Learning Allowance, and Disabled Students Allowance. Part-time students receive proportional awards. The program is subject to a capping process where the Department of Health and Social Care allocates a limited number of bursaries each year, and Sheffield Hallam University nominates students based on admissions interview scores. Students receiving this bursary are not eligible for a Master's Loan from Student Finance England.
Return to Practice Bursary
Health Education England (HEE) provides a non-repayable bursary to support eligible students enrolled onto the Return to Practice course for nurses preparing to re-register with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC). The University administers this bursary on behalf of HEE. Eligible students will be awarded a bursary of £1,000 paid in two equal instalments, expected to be made in February and June. This financial support is designed to help nurses who are returning to practice after a career break and are undertaking the necessary course to re-register with the NMC.
Joyce Spurr Art Travel Fund
The Joyce Spurr Art Travel Fund offers grants for fine art students to travel to and attend exhibitions or arts events in the UK. Grants are aimed at helping students learn from, and find inspiration in, exhibitions that they would not otherwise have been able to attend. In previous years, students used their awards to visit exhibitions by Yoko Ono and Marina Abramovic, in museums and art galleries such as The Baltic Centre, Somerset House and The Royal Academy of Arts. The fund has been made possible by generous donations from 103-year-old Sheffield-based artist, Joyce Spurr, and her supporters. Successful applicants will be awarded between £50 and £250, which can be used for UK travel, admission costs, accommodation, and food and drink costs of up to £20 a day. Students can receive one grant per term for each year they are enrolled on a fine art course.
Care Leaver Package
The Care Leaver Package provides financial support for students leaving local authority care at Sheffield Hallam University. This comprehensive support package aims to help care leavers focus on their studies without worrying about living costs and other financial burdens. The package is designed to provide stability and reassurance for students who have experienced unstable pasts, helping them transition successfully into university life and prepare for their future beyond graduation. Successful applicants receive a total of £3,600 per academic year, consisting of the maximum Student Success Scholarship award of £2,100 and an additional Care Leaver Bursary of £1,500. This combined financial support recognizes the unique challenges faced by care leavers and provides dedicated resources to help them succeed in their academic journey. Part-time students receive proportional awards based on their study intensity. The package is available to undergraduate home students aged 25 or under at enrollment who have spent three or more months in local authority care during or after year ten. Students must apply annually for the package through the Student Success Scholarship application process, with decisions typically communicated within one month of application window closure. The university also offers additional support through the SHU Progress applicant support scheme for care leavers considering or applying to Sheffield Hallam.
