BP Scholarship for Undergraduate Students

Award Description

The BP Scholarships are intended to encourage and support students .

As well as financial support, scholars will be offered unique access to the energy industry. In each year of their degree, they will be invited to join a range of activities such as the ‘Scholars Welcome Day’ in year 1 and, a three-day conference in year 2. Both events will enable students to build their understanding of the oil and gas industry and the opportunities that exist to apply their degree subject beyond graduation. In addition, BP will run more informal events on campus and scholars will be invited to join BP as guests at high profile events such as the Ultimate Field Trip Grand Final.

Value of Award

Each year BP will offer scholarships to up to 10 first-year students from the University of Birmingham. Each scholarship is worth up to £20,000 with scholars receiving £5,000 per year for the duration of their degree (up to four years). The scholarship is open to Home/EU and Overseas students.
