Newcastle University - Civil Engineering Excellence Scholarship

What the Civil Engineering Excellence Scholarship gives you

You will receive 1,000 GBP per year (approximately 1,160 EUR) for your civil engineering degree at Newcastle University in the UK. The total amount you receive depends on your degree programme. MEng students receive the grant over four years (a total of 4,000 GBP). BEng students receive the grant over three years (a total of 3,000 GBP). The money is paid out in January each year and comes directly from the university’s Faculty of Engineering. To continue receiving the funding after the first year, you must have achieved an annual average of at least 65% in the previous year.
