Receive support – and help your community

The Lloyds Scholars programmes gives students from lower income households financial support, paid internships and the opportunity to develop their employability skills in return for volunteering in their community.

Lloyds Scholars receive:

  • A chance to learn valuable skills and boost your employability through lectures, workshops and events run by the Lloyds Banking Group
  • Real, hands-on work experience with up to two paid summer internships
  • Bursaries to help with living costs and study materials
  • Cash awards for good grades
  • Support from a mentor

Could you be a Lloyds Scholar?

You can apply for the Lloyds Scholars programme if you:

  • accept an offer of a place at the University of Sheffield starting in September 2013
