Student support scheme

For the local community and the global transition

In 2024, we ran the scheme in three countries of operation: the UK, France and Spain. Supporting society locally is the aim of the scheme, so applicants for funding must live near one of our energy sites and must be studying for a qualification that would help them gain skills, knowledge and competencies they can use in the renewable energy sector.

The scheme can cover expenses that assist candidates in completing their course, including travel, course materials, connectivity costs and equipment.

Renewable energy has always interested me, and with it being such an important and growing industry in Scotland, it’s a very enticing path to follow. Living in a rural area with wind farms nearby, I’ve always liked the idea of being able to get involved in these and help support my local area. I graduated back in June with a Master with distinction at the University of Strathclyde. I’ve now moved up to Aberdeen and have started working for Mott MacDonald as a graduate civil engineer. Just wanted to thank you for your support throughout my degree with the student support scheme, as without it I may not have achieved this outcome.

Sponsorship and scholarship

In Italy we support the development of skills in the field of renewable energy through different schemes in regions where our presence is stronger. In addition to recurring opportunities, such as the sponsorship of the annual Summer School on Introduction to Renewable Energy (SIER) held by the University of Udine, we launched our scholarship in collaboration with the University of Palermo aimed at students focusing their thesis on renewable energy and the energy transition.
