Further information
Students must be an affiliate member of the IMechE at the time of applying for a scholarship.
It is intended that study should be on a one-year full-time programme, however, if a suitable part-time two year programme is proposed, then the award may be divided equally in each year.
For a part-time programme, renewal of the award after the first year is conditional on satisfactory progress being made.
