- Each successful candidate will receive £4000 per year for a maximum period of four years.
- Awards will be given in two equal £2000 instalments in August and December.
The civil engineering qualification must be recognised by the Institution of Civil Engineers – for example NC, HNC, HND, BSc, BEng, MEng.
Recipients of the award will be expected to commit to a future professional engineering qualification such as EngTech MICE, IEng MICE or CEng MICE.
The Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) administer the Scotland-wide Into Civil Engineering Awards, as well as the UK-wide Quest Scholarships. ICE will only pay one award to any individual student. So, if you gain both these awards, you will have to select the one which you prefer to receive.
