The Innovation Award is a funding opportunity for Sheffield Hallam University students and recent graduates that have new and innovative ideas for social enterprises.

There are two funding rounds a year where you can apply for up to £500 under our Start Up award to test out a business idea or run a project, or you can apply for up to £2,500 through the Grow It award for an established business idea. For more information and for examples of projects we have funded please check out the case studies.

The Innovation Award drop-ins give you the chance to discover more about the award and to speak to the Student Union’s Social Enterprise Team about your idea.

You can also attend a session to help you write a successful application form for the Innovation Award.
