Beit Strathclyde (BStrath) Scholarships

The Beit Strathclyde Scholarships have been set up to fully fund one student of exceptional academic calibre from Malawi, Zimbabwe or Zambia to complete a Masters degree in the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Strathclyde. The scholarship covers both tuition fees and living costs for the full length of the course. The Beit Trust was established in 1906 by the will of Mr Alfred Beit, a financier and a director of the British South Africa Company. The Trust initially existed solely to create railways in Northern and Southern Rhodesia, but was later reconstituted to benefit education, health, welfare and the environment in Malawi, Zimbabwe and Zambia. The Beit Strathclyde (BStrath) Scholarships were set up in 2016 to attract and select Engineering students from Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe who demonstrate the greatest potential to become leaders, decision-makers and opinion-formers in their home countries. Students must hold a good Engineering degree from a recognised University and must be resident in one of the eligible countries at the time of application.
