GU68 Webmaster

Applications for financial support for undergraduate Engineering projects at the University of Glasgow are open during the periods stated on the Application dates page. During the application period, the form is on the Apply now page.

Individual applicants, including Product Design Engineering students at Glasgow School of Art, seeking financial support for their course project should complete the webform on the Apply now page during the application periods announced on the Application dates page.

There is a separate opportunity for Civil Engineering students, who do not normally have a course project, to apply for support to attend the ConstructionEd Field Course. A block Application will be made by the Civil Engineering Department on behalf of approved students at the appropriate time and you should speak to your University contact to find more. Candidates seeking support to attend the ConstructionEd Field Course will only be supported through this route.

Due to pressure on our resources, if you wish to apply on behalf of an organised group working on a project not part of a course, we require you also to use the form. We will contact you to discuss the possibility of support.

Unfortunately, the Trust cannot consider applications received outside the published application periods.

The GU68 Engineers Trust Medal is awarded in memory of our founding secretary, Hugh O’Neill, to the student making the best presentation in support of an application to the Trust.

Hugh was an extremely competent communicator and delivered seminars in presentation skills to architectural and engineering professionals as he firmly believed that effective presentation was as important as technical competence. He was very active in supporting the Trust from the start in 2004.

This is the first occasion that the medal is to be presented, and at the James Watt School of Engineering prize-giving reception on 2 July it was awarded to Isabel Payne, who made a very impressive presentation in support of her application for support of a project exploring the use of mycelium’s biofiltration properties for removing organic pollutants from sewage, and to design a deployable water filter.

This is the first time the School of Engineering has organised a prize-giving reception for Graduates. It is the first time that the School has brought all five of the Engineering Disciplines’ (Aeronautical; Biomedical; Civil; Electronic & Electrical and Mechanical Engineering) Graduation receptions together in one location and it should be a most enjoyable occasion.
