Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Fund Scholarships

A number of CIOB scholarships will be awarded in 2010. These will be tenable at any CIOB accredited university/educational institution for students enrolled on a CIOB accredited construction related course at Bachelors level, leading to the award of a university degree.

The awards will be made to students who have shown potential in the early part of their studies and are intended to provide study support during the final year.

A requirement of each scholarship will be that the recipient and the host institution agree that a major piece of work undertaken during the final year, as part of the programme of studies, is submitted to CIOB. Scholarship winners will be required to publish and to submit their project/research dissertation for the CIOB Innovation and Research Awards. The scholarship does not require the recipient to carry out work over and above that required to attain their degree award.

Students will be required to submit their scholarship applications in the year prior to the final year of study. Applications will be considered by the QEII Jubilee Fund Scholarship Committee, who may elect to interview any or all of the candidates.
