The Froude Scholarship is awarded to Graduate Members of the Institution who have been offered a post-graduate place at a UK university to carry out research into hydrodynamics or other problems related to maritime technology.
The value of the scholarship will be £700 per annum, tenable for two years. Exceptionally this may be extended to three years if the research merits such extension. Froude Scholarships will be awarded on the basis of academic excellence shown during first degree studies, and will take into account the academic challenge and work of the research subject.
Conditions of Award: The holder of a Froude Scholarship is required to submit a report on the work done during the first year. Such report should be in the form of a precis of the work completed and results obtained. The report should also be accompanied by a letter by the Head of Department stating that satisfactory progress has been achieved during the year. Subject to these reports, the Scholarship will be continued for the second year. The holder is also required to submit a report on satisfactory completion of the research. This report should be in the form of a paper that will be considered for publication in the Institution's Transactions. The holder of a Froude Scholarship is not permitted to accept payment from a company in respect of work done in connection with the research for which the scholarship was awarded.
