The University of Sheffield is dedicated to widening participation and ensuring better representation within the university. In early 2019, the University launched its Race Equality Strategy and Action Plan, developed in collaboration with the Studentsโ Union, with the first objective being to reduce this attainment gap between BAME and White students at the University to zero.
Through its Postgraduate Scholarship programme, the university also provides over 100 awards per year worth ยฃ10,000 each for home fee students. The scholarships’ key aim remains to help under-represented groups move into postgraduate study and also reward high achievers.
