The Faculty of Architecture and Surveying Scholarship
The Faculty of Architecture and Surveying Scholarship is being piloted this year in conjunction with the the Worshipful Company of Constructors.
The scholarship supports research in the field of architecture and surveying and offers an annual scholarship award of £2,000. An agreement is first reached with a company to act as a host for the scholarship. The company then selects a suitable candidate for the award and puts their details forward to the CIOB and the Worshipful Company. During the scholarship the scholar remains in full employment and is paid their normal salary by the company.

The Worshipful Company of Constructors was founded as the Company of Builders in 1976 and received its Grant of Livery and its current title in 1990. The Constructors’ Company embraces professionals from all parts of construction, as well as those, like lawyers and accountants, who work with the industry. Members of the Court personally assist scholars and representatives of scholars’ employers right through the scholarship process.

The Scholarship process At the beginning of the scholarship, the scholar gives a presentation on the proposed topic to an invited audience of CIOB and Worshipful Company representatives. This provides an opportunity for discussion and comment. Review meetings with an individual representative from each organisation, for which the scholar produces a short progress report, are then held in not less than three-monthly intervals. These meetings ensure that the work is on schedule and the scholar receives any necessary support.
At the end of the 12 month scholarship period the scholar must produce a written report of 8,000 – 10,000 words. A rehearsal presentation is then given to a small CIOB/ Worshipful Company audience and this is followed by a public presentation at a venue and event chosen by the host company.
