Each year BUTEX awards a number of scholarships to undergraduate students studying abroad for either a semester or a whole academic year.

The value of each scholarship is £500 and it will be paid to the winners once they have arrived and registered at their host university. BUTEX will also make a special award in honour of our late Treasurer, the Tony Emmerson Award.

Applicants should design a poster, upload a YouTube vlog, or write a blog on the challenges they may encounter/have encountered whilst studying abroad and how these were overcome. Submissions will be used to help improve the support and advice that BUTEX can give to students.
