Imperial has launched a new scholarship programme to support PhD students from sub-Saharan Africa.
The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering is pleased to offer a number of scholarships to support PhD study in any of its areas of research. Detailed information is provided below as to our scholarships process, scholarship schemes and deadlines.
Deadlines:
- Round 2- deadline 8th January 2024
- Round 3- deadline 4th March 2024
- Round 4- deadline 24th June 2024
Benefits
Our aim is to select the most outstanding PhD students and offer them financial support.
Requirements
The Shawki Saad PhD Scholarship is a fully funded programme to support students ordinarily resident in Sub-Saharan Africa.
In the interest of fairness, the Department has one selection process for all the scholarships that are administered by the College, including the Imperial President’s Scholarships, Imperial CSC Scholarships, and the Departments own scholarships.
The Awards Panel considers several factors to assess a student’s academic achievements (grades, cohort ranking, awards for achievement) and research potential (publications, research experience e.g UROP). The panel also take into account references and experience after graduating.

A completed application will include:
- Both of your references – it is your responsibility to ensure that these are received
