As part of the Hallam Career Mentoring Scheme, there are two funds available to help students to make the most of their mentoring experience:

• Hallam Fund Career Mentoring Bursary
• Santander Career Capital Fund

Hallam Fund Career Mentoring Bursary

The Hallam Fund Career Mentoring Bursary has been set up to ensure that all students have access to networks of professional people to help them make decisions about their future career. The bursary aims to bridge the gap for those students who lack work experience, and prioritises funding towards students who are from under-represented groups (lower income families, ethnic minorities).

Funding can be requested to cover the costs of:

• Travelling to meet a mentor (dependent on travel restrictions)
• Accommodation
• Attending conferences or other development opportunities
• Taking time out from a part time job

Ensure that within your application, you take the time to explain why you should be given a bursary and how the bursary will enhance your career development.

Please get in touch via careermentoring@shu.ac.uk or on 0114 225 3752 if you have any questions relating to the Hallam Fund Career Mentoring Bursary.

Santander Career Capital Fund

*The deadline for applications for the Santander Career Capital Fund is 1st May 2024*

This fund, which has been made possible through a partnership between Sheffield Hallam University and Santander Universities, allows students to participate in career and skill development opportunities, such as:

Taking up a work experience, internship or networking opportunity with career mentors.

Award amount is £1000 and will depend on individual circumstances of the opportunity proposed in a student’s application. Awards will be prioritised for widening participation students and are designed to boost confidence and develop industry skills and awareness for students from under-represented groups.

Successful bursary recipients will be joining a network of Santander Scholars across the globe and a key part of this process is the production of a case study. Students should keep a record or diary of their activities, which they can use as the basis for their case study.

Students must have the right to work in the UK and be available to complete the development activities by the end of July each year.
