Student Bursary and Student/University Grant Schemes

Aims:
The LPS exists to promote, for the public benefit, education and knowledge in the scientific and technical aspects of formation evaluation.

To further these aims, the LPS has two schemes to provide financial support to students and universities in the form of bursaries for students, and grants for students and university departments.

The Student Bursary scheme seeks to reward post-graduate Earth Science students at English or Welsh universities who take a special interest in Petrophysics in their studies.

The Student/University Grant scheme seeks to support specific projects, courses or educational activities undertaken by students or university departments which have Petrophysics as an important component.

Awards are decided by the LPS Executive Committee on the merit of each application. LPS funds are limited and an application is no guarantee of an award.

How much is each scheme worth;
Bursaries are set at £500 per student per year
Grants are set at up to £1000 per year

Who can apply:
For a Bursary; post-graduate students, studying Earth Science or Petroleum Engineering at English or Welsh universities.

For a Grant; post-graduate students, studying Earth Sciences or Petroleum Engineering at English or Welsh universities, or Earth Science or Petroleum Engineering departments at English or Welsh universities.

How can you apply:
Bursary applications are made by a form and CV.
Grant applications are to be made in writing outlining the course/project/activity and the Petrophysics content.

Follow-up:
If you are successful in receiving a Grant or Bursary, we would like to you to keep in touch. The LPS requests that you send the committee a concise report on how the money has aided your studies. You might consider a more detailed report for publication on the LPS website, or presentation at an LPS technical meeting.
