Eligible applicants with an offer from the university will be automatically awarded the scholarship, meaning that the applicants do not need to submit a separate scholarship application. To receive the award, students must accept their offer by 4 PM UK time on July 6, 2027. Applicants should note that the scholarship is open to postgraduate taught offer holders from India, Indonesia, Japan, Kenya, Nigeria, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Türkiye and Vietnam. Applicants should be the permanent residents of, or have lived in, one of the eligible countries or regions for at least the previous three years. They also need to be self-funded and classified as overseas students for tuition fee purposes. To qualify, students need to enrol in a full-time postgraduate taught programme and complete their course at the University of Sheffield. The postgraduate diplomas and certificates, online and distance-learning programmes, Crossways and Erasmus Mundus programmes, and the courses that have higher clinical fees are excluded from the scholarship. The scholarship offers a reduction of £7,000 in tuition fees for eligible students who are starting their postgraduate taught programme in September 2027. For students enrolled in a two-year master's programme, the scholarship will be available in the second year, subject to successful completion of the first year. The award cannot be deferred to a later year of entry. Students from the University of Sheffield International College may also be eligible, provided they meet the remaining scholarship conditions. M-Arch programmes are also considered postgraduate taught programmes and are eligible. The scholarship generally cannot be combined with another University of Sheffield scholarship or tuition fee discount unless specifically stated. It also cannot be combined with full or partial external sponsorship, except repayable loans. Applicants are responsible for ensuring that they receive any funding for which they are eligible, as the scholarship cannot be backdated to previous years.
