Schemes for Professional Engineers
Sir Angus Paton Bursary
In 1986 Sir Angus Paton made
an endowment to The Royal Academy of Engineering
from which an annual bursary is funded. The bursary
supports a suitably qualified engineer study a
full-time Masters’ degree course specifically
related to water resources engineering or some other
environmental technology.
The bursary is awarded by the

Prospective applicants must therefore submit an

the award of this prestigious bursary.
