Scholarships for non-European destinations
Study abroad scholarships 2022/23
We are excited to announce we have £500 scholarships on offer to students in receipt of a University of Sheffield bursary who will go on a year or semester abroad in the academic year 2022/23, with some of the awards generously supported by alumni donations. These awards are being made to eligible students who are studying in the EU and those studying outside the EU by the end of June. Eligible students have been contacted by email with instructions.
External scholarships & awards
There are some external scholarships and awards available for students on the Study Abroad programme. Below are some of the scholarships we are aware of, but there are others and it is worth checking if your host institution offers any funding and if it is competitive and you need to apply for it.
You must have a place on the University of Sheffield Study Abroad Programme in order to apply for any of these scholarships.
The BUTEX Scholarship
BUTEX (British Transnational Exchange Association) offers scholarships worth £500.
To be eligible to apply you must have been offered a place as a study abroad or exchange student for the academic year. The entry options are to submit a poster by uploading it, or to submit an essay on a topic BUTEX has chosen. It is highly recommended you enter a poster.
Deadline: mid-June (see website)
