Scholarships and Bursaries
Even though the cost of living for students at the University of Sheffield is among the lowest in the country, you may still be able to benefit from the extra financial assistance that we can provide. The Department of Materials Science and Engineering provides academic achievement scholarships in addition to the financial support the University provides in the form of bursaries.
Academic Achievement Scholarships
The Department of Materials Science and Engineering is offering a number of Academic Achievement Scholarships to UK and EU students entering in 2013.
Scholarships of up to £2,000 will be awarded as a one-off payment in recognition of academic excellence to students starting on an undergraduate honours degree programme within the Department of Materials Science and Engineering in 2013.
The Scholarship will be paid automatically in October 2013. You do not need to apply.
To be eligible for an academic achievement scholarship you must:
- Attain A level grades of AAA or above (equivalent performance in alternative qualifications such as IB or BTEC will also be considered)
- Have made The University of Sheffield your first (firm) choice in the UCAS application process
- Commence your undergraduate studies in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering in 2013
- Be from the UK or EU (not be classed as an international student for tuition fees purposes)
The value of the Scholarships depends on the A level (or equivalent) grades achieved by the student as follows:
| A level grades | Scholarship value |
| AAA or above | £2,000 |
| AAB | £1,000 |
| ABB AAC | £500 |
University Bursaries for UK undergraduate students
You could get up to £1,400 a year cash support from the University in the form of a bursary (this is same as a grant, so you don't have to pay the money back unless your circumstances change). The size of the bursary depends on your household income. In addition, if your household income is less than £25,000 a year and you live in an economically deprived area, you'll get a full or partial fee waiver for your first year of study.
