What is the Sheffield Hallam University Identifier?
Once you have applied for a course and your application has been processed you will receive a student identifier number, sometimes called the SI number (contains eight digits only). If this is not provided we will not be able to register your application.
Can I apply for more than one scholarship?
You are welcome to apply for as many scholarships as you wish, provided you meet the eligibility criteria, however if you were successful in more than one you would be required to choose which one to accept (usually whichever is of the highest value).
What is the difference between a scholarship and a bursary?
Scholarships are competitive and require completion of an application form, which is submitted to an academic panel for review.
Bursaries are automatic discounts which are calculated by our admissions team before an offer is made.
Please note that if you receive a bursary discount on your student fee and are then awarded a scholarship, you will only receive a scholarship payment for the amount of the award that exceeds the bursary discount already allowed.
For example, if you receive a discount of £1,000 and are then awarded a scholarship for £2,000, you will receive a scholarship payment for the difference of £1,000.
If a scholarship is awarded which is less than the bursary discount received, you will not receive any scholarship payment, but will receive a scholarship certificate.
