Student Bursary Awards
SPE Aberdeen supports students through an annual bursary programme. Over the last 10 years we have distributed £200K to students across Scotland. We invite applications in December each year, and award bursaries of between £500 and £5000 each February. The timing is intended to help students who might be struggling financially to complete their course of study. These bursaries are open to Full-Time Postgraduate students, PhD students and Under-Graduate students studying Energy related courses while attending the universities listed under the SPE Aberdeen Section: University of Aberdeen, Robert Gordon University, Heriot-Watt University and University of Dundee.
The SPE Aberdeen Section are pleased to announce the winners and runners up of the 2025-2026 Student Bursary awards.
This year we had a panel of judges from companies across the energy sector and 71 applications from across all of our 4 student chapter universities. There were 25 bursaries awarded in total. We will be presenting the winning students with their certificates in due course and the top winners will be invited to present at an SPE event in the coming months. In addition to the winners listed below, we also awarded 12 x £500 awards.
Congratulations to all applicants, and a huge thanks to the volunteers who make the Student Bursary awards possible.
