Daniel Jones, from Darlington, is studying MEng Engineering at the University of Cambridge.
IET FUSE Scholarships are awarded to Seema Kapacee, Edward Phillips, Daisy Prior, Helen Sheehan and Olivia Critchley. Each FUSE scholarship is worth £4,000 (£1,000 per year for four years). Seema Kapacee is studying MEng Engineering at the University of Cambridge. Edward Phillips, from Sheffield, is studying MEng Engineering at the University of Cambridge. Daisy Prior, from Leeds, is studying MEng Engineering at the University of Cambridge. Helen Sheehan, from Liverpool, is studying MEng Engineering at the University of Cambridge. Olivia Critchley, from Clitheroe, Lancashire, is studying BEng Mechanical Engineering at Newcastle University.
The Belling Engineering Grants are worth £3,000 and are open to British citizens who are due to commence the final year of an IET-accredited mechanical or electrical engineering MEng degree course in the next academic session.
These grants are made in memory of the late Charles Reginald Belling, who was born at Bodmin, Cornwall in 1884. In 1912 he started his own business in Enfield, manufacturing electric heaters, electric water heaters, electric cookers and immersion heaters.
The four recipients of the Belling Engineering Grants are Rebecca Macindoe, Andrew Allan, Michaela Bousfield and Frank Taggart. Rebecca Macindoe is studying MEng Electronics and Music at the University of Glasgow. Andrew Allan, from Glasgow, is studying MEng Electrical and Mechanical Engineering at the University of Strathclyde. Michaela Bousfield, from Kendal, Cumbria, is studying Design and Operational Engineering at Durham University. Frank Taggart, from Toome, Northern Ireland, is studying MEng Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Queen’s University Belfast.
IET Grants, worth £1,000 each, are awarded to deserving students who are about to start the second, third or final year of an IET-accredited degree programme.
