The scholarship offers partial funding of £1,500 per academic year and is available for one year. To be eligible, you must be enrolled in a STEM subject degree at a UK university or college.

This topic delves into the crucial issue of Climate Change and highlights the importance of finding sustainable solutions.
Winning this scholarship comes with several benefits, including guidance from a UKNEST graduate buddy, mentorship from a UKNEST Member Organisation, and the possibility of a work placement with a UKNEST Organization.
