Schemes for Professional Engineers
Panasonic Trust Fellowships
On 2 October 1997, Matsushita Electric Industrial Co
Ltd and Panasonic UK Ltd celebrated the 25th
anniversary of the UK Company by generously donating
a further £500,000 to the Panasonic Trust to broaden
its activities in the professional development of UK
engineers. The Trustees used this donation to launch
the Panasonic Trust Fellowships.
The objective of the Fellowships is to provide
financial support to selected graduate engineers
wishing to undertake full-time Masters’ courses in
subjects related to the Environment and
Sustainability. Each Fellowship has a financial
value of £8,000.
This scheme complements the Panasonic Trust Awards,
which support industrially employed engineers to
undertake part-time modular Masters’ courses.
