Description
The School of Engineering BP Hughes Bursary is designed to support students who may be facing financial barriers, with particular priority given to those experiencing unexpected changes in circumstances. In the case of conference travel, support can be provided only if no other funds are available and if the student would otherwise not be able to attend a conference in their degree. Determination of eligibility will be made at the discretion of the committee.
Applications from students looking for funding to take part in activities that enhance or enrich their study of engineering but cannot take part due to financial reasons are particularly encouraged.
