FS Grants - More Popular than Ever!


We are pleased that the number of applications for the FS Grants has doubled since last year. IMechE is offering £20,000 worth of grants to a limited number of teams to assist with the participation costs of competing in Formula SAE-East, Formula SAE-West and Formula SAE-A. New teams are also eligible to receive a Grant to participate in FS for the first time. Applications are currently being judged and teams will hear back from IMechE's Prizes and Awards Committee after Easter.

 

FS has an Online Make-Over!

Check out the new Formula Student website that was launched in January. If you have any feedback or would like to see any additional features or web-pages added to the site, please email Fiona Edgeler at f_edgeler@imeche.org with your suggestions.
