Awards
A small number of awards are granted in any given year and will vary according to the funds available. The value of any individual award is set at a maximum value of £1500. A small group of IGE Staff and Alumni, with HWU Alumni and Development, will evaluate the submissions. Students are only awarded a single grant, usually towards the end of their studies when presentation of work externally is encouraged. The fund has traditionally supported the SPE Petrobowl Team, conference/research travel and research data analysis.
Applicants might be called upon to give a short presentation prior to the final decision.
