Newcastle University - Hodcroft Goodland Ventures Scholarship

What the Hodcroft Goodland Ventures Scholarship offered

It was aimed at students in their first year of a Bachelor’s degree programme in engineering at Newcastle University in the United Kingdom. The funds were provided by Ken Hodcroft and Goodland Ventures and were awarded in recognition of outstanding academic achievement.

• University: You’re studying at Newcastle University in the UK.
• Level: You are in the first year of your Bachelor’s degree at the Faculty of Engineering.
• Field of study: Chemical Engineering or Materials Science.

• Where you study: You will receive a ‘Home’ grant to study in the UK.

How realistic are your chances?

This scholarship is no longer listed amongst Newcastle University’s current scholarships and appears to be closed to new applications. The same sponsors now award a separate scholarship, the Hodcroft-Larsen Scholarship, for students of process engineering. This is a different programme with its own funding amount and its own rules.
