Employability Grant (College of Science and Engineering)
The College of Science and Engineering Student Engagement and Employability Lead supports individual undergraduate or postgraduate taught students and groups to partake in activities that will directly impact their employability through the award of small grants.
Typically, these awards are up to a maximum of £100. They could be used by individuals, groups or student societies to, for example, attend events, undertake professional development courses or support student led employability events on campus.
The focus is on activities that help to develop student employability skills and graduate attributes.
Overview
Bids will be considered by the College Student Engagement and Employability Lead on application. There are no fixed deadlines for applications, but funds are limited and when exhausted no more funds will be available until the following academic year.
Preference will be given to projects that have an impact on a number of people. Applications will be assessed on how the outcome would affect the personal development of the group members, and the likely extent and quality of impact on other students so these should be clearly addressed in your application.
Restrictions
Due to limits of funding grants will not be made towards attendance at conferences associated with a student's field of study. We will also not fund the purchase of equipment and grants cannot be made retrospectively.
Successful bids will take a minimum of three weeks to be reviewed and awarded and so applications must be made well before funds are required.
Applying
Interested students are required to submit a CoSE Student Led Employability Fund application form detailing how the money will be spent and how the proposed project will enhance their employability skills.
Please contact Lesley Grayburn, Student Engagement and Employability Lead for the College of Science and Engineering at cose-employability@glasgow.ac.uk for an application form.
Receiving the Award
We will also require itemised receipts for all expenditure.
