    UNIVERSITY OF SHEFFIELD AFRICAN SCHOLARSHIP 

    One-year awards for graduate students applying from Africa to take taught master's degrees at the University of Sheffield to enhance their professional contribution to development in their home countries on their return on completion of their courses. Normally one award annually.
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Financial issues to consider:

    • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
    • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
