These bursaries aim to encourage and support IMarEST Student members to work on technical research projects or community based projects.
The bursary can be used to support planned or existing projects, ranging from activities and events, promoting marine engineering, science and technology as a career, undertaking research in the country of residence or overseas, or undertaking other voluntary activities.
In return the awardees will need to work with the IMarEST to promote and report on their activity. Successful applicants will also receive a certificate.
Each bursary is funded at £500 for applications received from Student members from Group A countries and £250 for applications received from Student members from Group B countries.
