Accelerate to Zero Postgraduate Scholarship

We are funding Masters and Post Graduate candidates who can help solve climate change, create smarter, healthier places and develop a workforce and culture that supports the new future. The A-Z Postgraduate Scholarship supports projects that will make an impact on industry through new or developed processes, products or ideas that help solve industry challenges.

There are up to 30 places with £6,530 funding available for each eligible Full Time Equivalent Masters. Part-time students can also apply.

Apply online here before 30 November 2024. We recommend that you submit as early as possible to ensure that you secure a place. 

Be a Scottish student enrolled or applying for a Masters within our partner Universities.

Be from any course but with an interest in bringing an innovative solution to the built environment.

Have an innovative idea for a research project that can be applied directly with industry.

Work with an industry partner throughout your Masters. You can have a partner already secured but you don’t have to - we can help with that.

You can either apply for your grant with an industry partner already in mind, or we can help to find that partner from our wide network. Depending on your chosen field, this can be anything from direct applied research within an industry partner’s business, mentoring, or simply a presentation and discussion of findings.

The funding can only be used for fees. It will be paid direct to your university. You must be a Scottish student eligible for Scottish funding. If your fees are more than £6,530 the university must agree to waive the fee. You must work with an industry partner throughout your Masters and your research should be made available to them. You are required to complete a final case study on completion of your course and which may be published on BE-ST channels.
