Adrian Todd Golden Key Student Fund

The Adrian Todd Golden Key Student Fund was set up on the Institute of GeoEnergy Engineering's 40th Anniversary in 2016. This marker coincided with Professor Todd's retirement from the IGE, where he had served since its inception in 1976.

The fund exists to help IGE students enhance their educational and research experience by financially supporting students wishing to attend and present at high-profile conferences, attend competitions to represent the IGE, and/or attend industrial internships that raise career prospects.

Funding can also be used to facilitate exchange visits between Heriot-Watt Edinburgh, Dubai and Malaysia (and partner institutions) or to support IGE students experiencing unexpected emergencies caused by factors beyond their control.

Eligibility

Full-time MSc and PhD students who are currently enrolled on an IGE course at our Edinburgh, Dubai or Malaysia campus are eligible to apply.

How to apply

Applications for the Adrian Todd Golden Key Student Fund are accepted in the months of March and September each year.

Awards

A small number of awards are granted in any given year and will vary according to the funds available. The value of any individual award is set at a maximum value of £1,500. A panel of IGE academic staff will evaluate all submissions. Students are only awarded a single grant, usually towards the end of their studies when the presentation of work externally is strongly encouraged.
