If you have been awarded a scholarship, you should have been provided with details about your stipend payments in your scholarship letter.
If you need a confirmation letter of your funding (for example for a mortgage or landlord), please contact m.i.boulis@sheffield.ac.uk or pgr-scholarships@sheffield.ac.uk with your name, registration number, and type of scholarship.
At the pre-registration stage, you will be asked to provide your bank details so that your stipend can be paid to you. You can change your bank details up to five working days before the payment due date.
If you register on 1st October, then your payment dates will be as follows:
If you are a cross-sessional student, and have a different registration date, then your payment dates may differ. There is further information on the Finance webpages.
If you have any questions about your scholarship details, you can get in touch with Marina Boulis (m.i.boulis@sheffield.ac.uk)
Please note that in order to receive payment, you will be required to have full registration status on the payment date. This means remembering to re-register every year when prompted by the University. It may take up to 3 working days from the dates above to be available in your bank account. If you do not receive a payment when you expect to, or the amount differs from what you expect to receive, please contact paymentstostudents@sheffield.ac.uk including your registration number with your query.
The standard UK Research Council stipend rate for 2023/24 is £18,622. If you are funded by a different body, for example by a CDT or by an embassy, this may be a different amount. The correct amount will be detailed in your scholarship award letter.
