You'll need to put the University of Sheffield as your firm choice before 25 July.

You don't need to apply for the City Scholars scheme, as this is assessed and paid automatically. You can only apply for one of either the Global Scholars or Masters Scholars schemes.

If you are successful in the City Scholars scheme and one of either the Global Scholars or Masters Scholars scheme then we'll ask you to choose which one to accept later.
