Fife College and the University of Edinburgh partner up to engineer new opportunities for students


Adam Smith Scholarships, part of Fife College, has launched a new scholarship for engineering students in partnership with the University of Edinburgh. The Fife College and University of Edinburgh


Engineering Project Scholarship has been introduced for College students who join one of three cutting edge engineering projects led by the University. Designed for students who are looking to


move onto degree level study after their college course, the scholarship offers a £500 award to help students with resources or materials for their studies. Students are eligible for the scholarship


award once they join one of three projects: Endeavor (University of Edinburgh Rocketry Team), Edinburgh University Formula Student (EUFS) or HYPED (Hyperloop Edinburgh). The Rocketry team project provides students with the skills and


experience to make significant contributions to humanity’s goal of exploring the cosmos, understanding more about climate change as well as helping the world make progress towards the UN’s sustainable development goals. EUFS gives students the opportunity to design and build race cars and

join one of two race teams - the IC Team (Design and Manufacture) and the AI Team (developing artificial intelligence for driverless cars). The third project is HYPED Hyperloop


Edinburgh, the UK’s number one hyperloop team. Dedicated to developing the concept of hyperloop and inspiring future generations about engineering, the HYPED team have received awards from SpaceX, Virgin Hyperloop One and Institution of Civil Engineers. Lyn Gold, Scholarship and Alumni


Engagement Lead at Fife College, said: “We are delighted to partner with the University of Edinburgh to create these opportunities for our engineering students.


“The projects are extremely exciting, and we hope that the


accompanying scholarship award will provide students with the extra boost they need to support their studies and reward them for their time and dedication to their chosen project. “I would encourage all our full-time students who are eligible,


particularly those interested in moving onto university after their course, to visit the College website and find out more about how to apply.”
