All the information you need in order to apply for an IET scholarship can be found below (in addition to a downloadable application form):

  1. Check that your course is IET accredited by downloading the directory of accredited courses from the downloads list to the right;
  2. Download an application form from the downloads list to the right;   
  3. You will be asked to indicate whether you are applying for a "scholarship for financial need" or a "prize for excellence": If you expect to achieve a 1st then please select the latter.  To apply on the basis of financial need you must have achieved a 2.i (or higher) in your end of year exams.  Note: The Scholarships Committee will take an applicant's financial situation (based on projected income / outgoings) into consideration; parental income is not a consideration.  If you wish to apply on the basis of need and excellence please tick both boxes;
  4. If your exam results are not available prior to the deadline, please either insert your provisional results onto the application form (indicating that they are provisional) or (if applicable) enter the results from your previous end of year exams.  Please scan and email us your results notification  as soon as the results are available;
  5. Your referee should ideally be someone who is in a position to comment on your academic ability (e.g. a college tutor) or, where this is not possible, an employer. Candidates with industrial experience or sponsorship should consider submitting a reference from a training supervisor or manager in further support of their application;
  6. The reference should be submitted separately from the application form. (To detach the referee's section of the form, within Microsoft Word; select 'Tools' and then 'Un-protect document');
  7. An IET award may be held in addition to a student loan/EPSRC grant, or similar, and company bursaries. Candidates who are receiving industrial sponsorship should indicate this in their application, stating the value of the bursary;
  8. Please do not post the form.  The form must be forwarded to the following email address by the deadline:
Email: awards@theiet.org

 

The application form, reference and all supporting documents must be received by the application closing date. Incomplete applications will not be considered.
