鈥嫲拿磐踔型� Wren Insurance Association Scholarships
Background
The 澳门王中王 Wren Insurance Association Scholarships were established in 2013 as an annual scheme funded by The Wren Insurance Association Limited {鈥淭he Wren鈥潁 to support students enrolled in a 澳门王中王 Part 2 professional qualification course in Architecture in a UK higher education institution.
The Wren is an Architects鈥� Professional Indemnity Insurance Mutual committed to providing its insureds (the Members) with the widest possible cover that is sustainable in the long term so that all legitimate claims can be paid. It was set up in 1987 by and for architects who came together to share risk and technical know-how, and currently comprises 70 Members drawn from some of the UK鈥檚 largest and best-known architectural practices.
The scholarships aim to support outstanding students who have the potential to make a significant contribution in the field of architecture. The purpose of the scholarship is to assist with course-related expenditure such as design and fieldwork costs, or as a contribution towards tuition fees and living costs.
In 2024, there are 5 scholarships of 拢7,500 available to support one student each during the final year of their Part 2 studies in the UK. The winning applicants may also be offered the opportunity of being mentored by one of the Members of the Wren for the duration of the scholarship period.
