The Scottish Association for Metals (www.scottishmetals.org) invites formally constituted student societies or student groups at Scottish universities to apply for a grant to support extra-mural activities focussed on developing knowledge, expertise or experience in the science or engineering of materials and related manufacturing.
The grant may be used to support the costs of the following types of activities:
- The purchase of engineering materials
- The cost of shaping, coating or fabricating engineering materials
- The costs of the inspection or testing of fabricated components
- Travel and accommodation costs for society members to attend events away from the home university
Applications for funding should be sent by email to scottishmetals@gmail.com outlining the intended purpose of the grant and the size of grant being sought. Grants will be awarded on a first-come first-served basis and this call will close once the budget allocated has been committed. The amount available to an individual society or student group will range from £100 to £1000 but will typically be approximately £500.
Successful applicants are expected to acknowledge publicly the support of the Scottish Association for Metals and may be asked to give a short report or presentation of their activities.
Grant awards are made at the sole discretion of the Association and no correspondence can be entered into.
