Full-time English language course sanctuary scholarship

This is a competitive process and not all applications will be successful; a panel of senior members of University of Sheffield staff will select the strongest applications. If your application is taken forward, we may invite you for an interview to clarify the information you have provided in your application. All scholarships are discretionary. The University may contact the Home Office to verify your immigration status in the UK.

To be considered for the scholarship you must: Ideally live in Sheffield or be able to travel to Sheffield for the course. For a Pre-sessional English scholarship you must have a conditional or unconditional offer for an undergraduate or postgraduate course at the University of Sheffield (if you are applying for a pre-sessional English course) and be studying at degree level in the UK for the first time (applicable to undergraduate students only). An academic offer is not necessary to apply for the University English course. Have been granted humanitarian protection or limited leave to remain in the UK, be a dependant or partner of someone with humanitarian protection or limited leave to remain or you or your parent/guardian or partner are an asylum seeker and have submitted a claim within the UK for refugee status and have not yet received a decision from the Home Office on that application. Have applied for asylum on arrival in the UK and before you have applied for a place on an ELTC course. Be unable to access mainstream funding, for example student finance or local authority grants. Provide all the documentation you have received from the Home Office in relation to your asylum / limited leave to remain in the UK claim. Meet the entry requirements for your chosen course. For more information please see the relevant course webpages. If your level of English is too low, you will not be considered for a scholarship. Be available to fully engage with the course, Monday to Friday, as 100% attendance is expected. Applicants can only be sponsored for more than one term if they have 90% or over attendance. Progress will be discussed with teaching staff. The standard minimum age for our courses is 18 years. However, we will consider applications from applicants who are under 18 in some circumstances, and subject to satisfactory guardianship arrangements being in place. Please contact us for more information.
