Student AwardsA variety of student awards and bursaries are provided by the Trust from the income of the various funds (described here). These awards and bursaries provide funding assistance to undergraduates, and in some cases postgraduates, to undertake a diverse range of projects involving travel, research or general enterprise. Brief details of the available awards are given below. In the main these are there to be applied for by present students, although some awards involve a selection process and cannot be directly applied for. It should be noted that Old Centralians' Trust awards and bursaries are only available to students within the seven Faculty of Engineering Departments that were formerly part of the City & Guilds College within Imperial College, namely Aeronautics, Bioengineering, Chemical Engineering and Chemical Technology, Civil & Environmental Engineering, Computing, Electrical & Electronic Engineering (including ISE) and Mechanical Engineering. Student Activity AwardsValued at £700, these are designed to reward undergraduates who can show their level of commitment to student union, departmental society or sporting activities. The intention is that the award will assist them in fulfilling an active lifestyle, whether through living closer to the campus or by incurring increased travel and other costs in the pursuit of their activities. The awards are applied for during the Spring Term preceding the year of award, and made available at the commencement of the following academic year.

Undergraduate Research BursariesA number of half-bursaries are made available to the UROP (Undergraduate Research Opportunities) Scheme to be used in arranging placements for undergraduates from the seven eligible departments. The supervisor involved in each placement is then responsible for securing the remaining funding from other available sources. These bursaries may not be applied for directly, but should in general improve the prospects of securing a placement when application is made through the normal UROP procedures (see Imperial College Website (http://www.imperial.ac.uk/urop/).
