The scholarship is available to postgraduate taught offer holders from India, Indonesia, Japan, Kenya, Nigeria, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkiye and Vietnam.

To be eligible, students must enrol on a full-time postgraduate taught course and complete the programme at the University of Sheffield. Postgraduate diplomas and certificates, online and distance-learning courses, Crossways and Erasmus Mundus programmes, and courses carrying higher clinical fees are not eligible.

The scholarship cannot normally be combined with another University of Sheffield scholarship or discount, unless specifically stated. It also cannot be combined with full or partial external sponsorship, except repayable loans. Where a student is eligible for more than one University discount or scholarship, the applicable terms will determine which award takes precedence.
