Along with the new scholarship program, the department also unveiled the $500 Africa Plus Annual Prize, which will be given annually for at least the next five years to the best Civil and Environmental Engineering MEng student project in a sustainability-related field relevant to sub-Saharan Africa. Africa Plus Partners, an asset management firm, is responsible for funding the award.

The benefits of the scholarship

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering’s Head, Professor Washington Yotto Ochieng, explained that the Professor Shawki Saad Endowment Fund and Africa Plus Partners will help develop the next generation of engineering’s brightest stars and strengthen the College’s ties to sub-Saharan Africa.

Professor Ochieng said:

  • “We want to attract the brightest students from across the globe and this generous new scholarship will help to nurture and develop the next generation of engineering leaders.
  • “The world is facing many global challenges and the developing world is often much more adversely impacted.
  • “If we are to solve some of the world’s most pressing challenges such as sustainable transport and water security we need to ensure that engineering research is supported and we have a pipeline of skilled, young engineers in sub-Saharan Africa that can make a vital impact on society.”
