The McCall Foundation Scholarship

The McCall Foundation Scholarship was set up in 2017 by The McCall Foundation to encourage and reward students in Civil Engineering at Queen's University Belfast. Mervyn McCall, the donor, is a Queen's graduate in Civil Engineering and, although he feels he is considered a success by most standards, he is very aware and grateful for the help he got along the way. He is from a working class family, but graduated in the days of grants and wants to help students today. Two Scholarships of £2,000 per annum will be awarded to two students on the BEng Civil Engineering in Stage 1 with the highest mark on average across all modules at the end of semester 2 (at a level of 60 or above) with a declared household income below the minimum published threshold to determine eligibility for a full grant, or who have joined Queen's through the Pathway Opportunity Programme. One payment of £2,000 will be made to the successful students on identification of the scholarship winners in Stage 1. Payments will be awarded in Stages 2 and 3 based on the result of the end of year examination results and subject to scholarship holders achieving progression to the next stage of their programme of study or graduating.
