Scholarships at University of Staffordshire

Thanks to generous donations into the Horizon Fund and the University’s Student Experience Fund, support is being made available to help ensure our students can take their final year show to the next level.

This is the time for you to show what your time at University has taught you, and to showcase your talents to the world, not to mention potential employers. We know that many of our students receive job offers during this end of year exhibition, and want to ensure that you can give your work the quality display materials it deserves.

Eligibility criteria

• Creative Support for Final Year students (Level 6 and 7) displaying in their end of year show (e.g., Degree Show, GradEX).

• Maximum amount available £200, and an outline brief of what the money will be used towards will be required, with examples of the cost.

• One application per student.

In recognition of the outstanding talent and achievements of many of our overseas applicants, we are pleased to be offering our SMART Scholarship.

SMART Scholarships are available for full-time, campus-based international fee-paying students. For these entries, the SMART scholarship represents a £3,000 discount that will be applied to every year of your tuition fees (please note: this excludes placement years).

The scholarship is awarded as part of the admissions process and is based on your application to study; there is no separate form to complete.

You won’t be eligible if you:

• Are receiving full or partial funding for your studies from a sponsor or other scholarship provider
