Please find below information regarding a scholarship fund which has been set up through the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) Scotland with the aim of removing the cost of a student loan preventing anyone from studying civil engineering. This is the result of a donation to the Institution by a retired solicitor.

Four awards of £4000 per year for young people aged 21 and under living in Scotland are made to allow them to study in Scotland. The award is open to full-time or part-time students as well as apprentices or students on day or block release from an employer. Each successful candidate receives £4000 per year for a maximum period of four years.

The closing date for applications is 31 March for courses beginning from September this year.

Application forms and details can be found on the ICE Scotland website at www.ice.org.uk/near-you/uk/Scotland/awards#into_civilengineering
