Scholarships and bursaries
Scholarships and bursaries (often referred to as grants) are one-off grants made to support students in their education. You might have heard about them in American pop-culture to fund college, but they're available in the UK too. According to UCAS, the terms 'bursary' and 'scholarship' are interchangeable across universities, with scholarships likely to be competitive and often supported by generous donors, and bursaries usually non-competitive, automatic, and based on financial need.
Student Success Scholarship
The main scholarship that SHU offer is the Student Success Scholarship, which is designed to help you succeed in your studies, and is available to both full-time and part-time home students. If successful you'll receive a payment of between £600 and £2,100, although the Uni says most successful applicants will get nearer the lower amount unless in 'several priority groups'. You can find detailed information in the terms and conditions, or more quickfire info and how to apply on the Student Success Scholarship webpage.
Scholarship and Bursary Finder
There are also a wide range of other scholarships and bursaries available from the Uni, with some open to students on specific courses and others available to all students. There's something for almost everyone and you can use the Scholarship and Bursary Finder to search for one to suit you. SHU have previously released ad-hoc bursaries such as the house hunting grant and energy costs grant, so it's worth keeping an eye on their website for new opportunities.
