This year our scholarships are generously sponsored by Nadara. We have 2 categories of scholarship
- New students (with an offer of a place to start in Sept 2026) – ReNEWable Ocean Energy Scholarship
- Current students (already enrolled and continuing) – Ocean Leader Scholarship
Maximising energy sustainability in Scotland has been a long-term goal of the Scottish Government and figures for 2023 show that Scotland produced more energy than it used. Capacity within the offshore and onshore wind sector increased by 10 %, and production accounts for more than 75 % of all energy produced (Scottish Government 2024 Renewable electricity growth - gov.scot). Predictions indicate further extensive growth in the offshore wind sector in Scotland.
BlueFloat Energy and Nadara are keen to support marine scientists who have aspirations for a career either within or supporting the offshore renewable sector.
We have a limited number of one-off bursaries of £1500 each (paid in 2 instalments at the start of each semester in Academic Year 2025/26)
