SPE Aberdeen - Students and Bursaries

The SPE Aberdeen Section has long encouraged high standards of academic achievement among petroleum engineers by providing bursaries to students studying petroleum engineering-related subjects at Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh and at Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen.

The Section subsidises the cost of transporting students from Heriot-Watt, Dundee University and Kirkcaldy Institute to attend its monthly meetings in Aberdeen.

It also funds a video link between Heriot-Watt the monthly meeting venue in Aberdeen so that students who are unable to attend in person can still see and hear the meeting via a video conference.
