Nuffield School Bursary Scheme Celebration Event
The Nuffield School Bursary Scheme Celebration Event is being held on Friday 29th August at the Royal College of Physicians in Edinburgh from 1-4.30pm.
The Bursary Scheme enables fifth or sixth year secondary school students, who are interested in pursuing a career in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM), to work alongside practising scientists, technologists, engineers and/or mathematicians in commercial/industrial establishments, research institutions and universities.
The Nuffield Foundation awards each student a bursary to carry out a project which is designed to make a real contribution to the host organisation as well as benefit the students themselves. During the project period the host also undertakes to show the student the full extent of their organisations' work. The projects last, on average, between four and six weeks and take place during the summer vacation.
The Celebration Event offers the students involved in the scheme an opportunity to display what they have achieved during their placement and to meet and discuss it with other bursary students, supervisors and guests. This year has again been another successful year with a total of 75 students taking part in the scheme throughout Scotland.
We are particularly delighted to welcome Mr Anthony Tomei, Director of the Nuffield Foundation as our Guest of Honour and to present the students with their certificates of achievement.
