Sponsored or employer-funded students
We will invoice your sponsor directly. So that we can do this, you must send the following to sponsorletters@shu.ac.uk each academic year:
- proof of sponsorship
- name and address for the fees invoice
Proof of sponsorship can be a purchase order, or a confirmation letter on your sponsor's official letterhead. It should include your name, course, year, and sponsorship amount.
Send these details as soon as you can. If you do not send them within two weeks of enrolment, we will invoice you for your fees.
Your sponsor must pay within 30 days of the date shown on the invoice. If they do not do so, you will be expected to pay your tuition fees.
Apprenticeships
The majority of our apprenticeship courses are funded partly by the government's Skills Funding Agency, and partly by your employer. Your fee sponsorship arrangements will be set out in the employer sponsor letter.
Third party companies will be asked to pay 30 days from the date of our invoice. If we fail to secure payment from the sponsor, we reserve the right to re-issue the invoice to you personally.
If your sponsor is a relative or friend, we are not able to invoice them. In this instance, we would invoice you personally and they would be able to make payment on your behalf.
