About the fund

Get support for your engineering studies with an IGEM scholarship.

IGEM’s scholarships and grants scheme has returned for another year, continuing the effort to support future engineers on their educational journey and beyond.

As we look towards 2050 and the net zero challenge, IGEM supports a holistic approach to solving the energy trilemma that stands before us.

Every aspect of the supply chain will need to work together and the right policies must be in place for us to transition to a decarbonised UK. Equally, we are committed to making sure the future generation of engineers is fully supported to carry out the delivery of our zero carbon vision.

For this reason, IGEM has made the following scholarships and grants available to those with an interest in the energy sector who are working towards an engineering career via university study:

Prospective Undergraduate Scholarship – Worth up to £9,000 (£3,000 per year up to three years) for full time study (this will be pro-rata for part time study). This scholarship is open to students who currently hold a conditional or unconditional offer for an Undergraduate Engineering Council accredited course.

Current Undergraduate Scholarship – Worth up to £6,000 (£3,000 per year up to two years for full time study, this will be pro-rata for part time study). This scholarship is open to those enrolled on their first year of their Engineering Council accredited degree and making excellent progress, to the standard of 2:1 or above

Prospective Postgraduate Masters Scholarship – Available to exceptional graduates with an accredited BEng (Hons) degree to allow them to undertake an Engineering Council accredited Masters course. Each scholarship is worth up to £6,500 for one year’s full time study (this will be pro-rata for part time study up to two years).
