The University of Sheffield in the UK is extending a remarkable scholarship opportunity for the academic year 2024, known as the ‘International Postgraduate Scholarship 2024.’ This program is specifically tailored for international students embarking on their master’s journey in September 2024. The scholarship provides a financial boost, with an award of £2,000 (approximately ₹2.09 lakh) to students enrolled in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities and the Faculty of Social Sciences. For those pursuing their studies within the Faculty of Engineering, Health, and Science, a more generous scholarship amount of £2,500 (about ₹2.62 lakh) is offered.

What sets this scholarship apart is its hassle-free process. There is no need for a separate application; students who meet the eligibility criteria are automatically considered for the award. The primary intent of this scholarship is to alleviate some of the financial burdens by subsidizing tuition fees.

To qualify for this scholarship, students must adhere to the following criteria:

– They should be of Indian nationality or hold permanent residency in India.

– They must accept their course offer by 4 pm (UK time) on June 14, 2024.

– The scholarship is not applicable to master’s programs offered jointly by the University of Sheffield and other institutions.

– Applicants must be self-funded and categorized as overseas students for fee purposes.

Part-time students who fulfill all the criteria can expect to receive a proportional amount of the scholarship, similar to what full-time students receive, spread over the duration of their master’s program. It’s important to note, however, that this scholarship scheme does not extend to Postgraduate Diploma (PGDip) and Postgraduate Certificate (PGCert) programs.

Additionally, the University of Sheffield is known for its diverse and inclusive campus, offering a wide range of support services for international students. This includes assistance with accommodation, language support, and a variety of student clubs and societies. The university’s commitment to providing a global learning environment makes it an attractive destination for students from India and other countries. With this scholarship, the University of Sheffield reaffirms its dedication to making higher education accessible and affordable to a broader spectrum of students.
