Shawki Saad PhD Scholarship

The Shawki Saad PhD Scholarship is a fully funded programme to support students ordinarily resident in Sub-Saharan Africa pursuing doctoral research in civil and environmental engineering. The programme is funded by a generous endowed gift from the late Professor Shawki Saad, with one scholarship awarded each year between 2023-2027. Students should achieve a First Class Degree result (or International equivalent) in engineering or another numerate discipline, and hold a Masters level degree qualification with distinction. Projects must have direct relevance to challenges in Sub-Saharan Africa. The scholarship covers full tuition fees at the overseas rate and provides a stipend at the UKRI London rate, plus travel and visa costs.
