Imperial College London Shawki Saad PhD Scholarships 2023/2024
Deadline: 26th of May, 2023
A new scholarship program has been started by Imperial College London to aid PhD candidates from sub-Saharan Africa.
The scholarship is funded by an endowed donation from the late Professor Shawki Saad, a Professor of Civil Engineering at Khartoum University in Sudan. It will be available to students joining the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering.
Four students will be supported by the program, which will pay for their tuition in full as well as their stipend and travel expenses. The new scholarship program expands on an earlier one for Sudanese students.
The new scholarship initiative was introduced with a student award for sustainability-related research in sub-Saharan Africa. The student award and scholarship will support College initiatives to address systemic worldwide engineering and environmental concerns.
Eligibility:
- This scholarship is open to research projects in areas including: Transport, Fluid Mechanics, Environmental and Water Resources, Structures, Systems, Materials, and Geotechnics.
Benefits:
- The Shawki Saad PhD Scholarship is a fully funded programme to support students ordinarily resident in Sub-Saharan Africa. The programme is funded by a generous endowed gift from the late Professor Shawki Saad, with one scholarship awarded each year for the next four years.
- The programme will fully cover the cost of overseas tuition fees for 3 years, a monthly living cost stipend (£19,668 2022/23) for 3.5 years and travel costs (flight and visa) for the successful applicant.
