The Happold Trust Travel Scholarship
The Happold Trust Travel Scholarship is very generously offered to Bath University Final Year Civil Engineering students and graduates.
This travel scholarship was set up by the Happold Trust in memory of the late Sir Ted Happold who was Professor of Civil Engineering at Bath University from 1976 – 1995 and was a founding member of Buro Happold.
The award provides funds to allow Civil Engineers, in the early part of their career, a chance to travel abroad in order to explore a construction related topic of interest and to enjoy and experience different places and cultures.
