Civil Engineering students, who do not normally have a course project, usually have an opportunity to attend the ConstructEd Field Course in May. The Trust currently partly funds attendance by approved students under an arrangement with the School of Civil Engineering, and a block Application will be made by the Department on behalf of students attending the field course at the appropriate time. Speak to your University contact to find more.

The form will not be available outside these periods and unfortunately the Trust cannot consider individual applications received outside the published application periods. Please note that awards are intended to be for course projects rather than research programmes, and the approximate value will not normally be more than £500.
