Sponsorship
A number of industrial and professional organisations offer financial sponsorship for students studying chemical engineering at university.
A useful website to visit is www.scholarship-search.org.uk where you can find out if you are eligible for any available funding.
Many companies advertise their sponsorship schemes and information can usually be found on the company website. Details of major chemical engineering employers can be found in the Employers section of this website.
Other companies do not offer specific schemes, but will consider good candidates on an individual basis.
Competition is fierce so when making an application you must make a strong case for why a potential sponsor should choose you.
You should also check what sponsorship opportunities are available at the university of your choice as most offer a range of sponsorship including:
- Bursaries to attract high potential students
- Industry backed sponsorship
- Support for students gifted in areas such as sport or music
- Prizes for examination performance
