Frank Wallace Scholarship

The Frank Wallace Scholarship is named after Professor Frank Wallace, a pioneer in diesel engine turbocharging research, and awarded on behalf of his family. Professor Wallace was a distinguished academic who served as chair of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Bath until his retirement in 1989. He was made a fellow both of the Royal Academy of Engineering and the American Society of Automotive Engineers. The award commemorates his commitment to the teaching of engineering and supporting students in the Faculty of Engineering and Design. This scholarship provides £5,000 toward tuition fees for eligible students from the People's Republic of China who have accepted offers to study specific automotive engineering master's programs at the University of Bath. The scholarship is awarded to support the next generation of engineering students following in Professor Wallace's legacy of excellence in mechanical and automotive engineering education.

Guy Beresford Scholarship (PGT)

Hatfield College at Durham University is offering the Guy Beresford Scholarship of £15,000 for a full-time student from the North East of England (including Cumbria) and from a lower income household, to study full-time for a STEM taught masters degree at Durham University for the year 2025-26.

Durham University Military Scholarship

The Durham University Military Scholarship is designed to support individuals who have been injured, wounded, or sick as a direct result of military service or an immediate member of their family. The scholarship aims to make a real difference to the lives of Military Scholars by providing a life-changing opportunity for committed students who have made the personal choice to return to education following a period of military service. Scholars can be either an individual who has been honourably discharged from the British Armed Forces or their direct family member. Preference is given to applicants who have been injured, wounded or are sick as a direct result of military service or their direct family member. Full-time scholars receive £5,000 per year for a maximum of four years, which can be used as either maintenance support or payment towards tuition fees. Part-time students receive funding on a pro-rata basis. Three scholarships are available: one for applicants studying any undergraduate programme at Durham University, and two for applicants studying undergraduate STEM subjects with preference given to those studying Engineering. The scholarship programme was initiated in 2011 by alumnus Patrick Walker, who created the first two scholarships in honour of Lieutenant Abraham Slowe and Brigadier Harry Walker. Thanks to support from numerous trusts, foundations, and individual donors, Durham University can award scholarships of up to £20,000 per scholar. Military Scholars become members of St. Cuthbert's Society, one of the University's oldest student communities with extensive military heritage. Selection is based on personal statements, references, and academic status. All eligible applications are considered, and other scholarship awards may be taken into account when considering allocation. The University may also use Acorn data to identify applicants from areas currently underrepresented in the undergraduate population.
