The University of Nottingham

Global energy company BP plc has pledged £800,000 to the University as part of a new scholarship programme to support students over the next four years.

The BP scholarship programme will provide 10 scholarships, each worth £5,000, to the University in its first year, to support talented science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) undergraduates throughout their degree courses.

As the scholarship fund is rolled out over the following three years it will be awarded to a further 10 students each year, to support them for the entirety of their studies.

Already a major supporter of scholarships at the University, this is the first year that BP, one of the UK’s leading graduate recruiters, has rolled out the new programme which is aimed at building capacity in skills and knowledge which are greatly needed in the energy industry.

The programme focuses on supporting the education and development of the next generation of engineers and scientists and the scholarships are awarded on the basis of academic merit.

Growing our scholarships and bursaries are key projects within Impact: The Nottingham Campaign.
