The John S Archer Endowment Fund

John S. Archer

The John S Archer Endowment Fund allows Professor Archer’s legacy to live on. Professor John Stuart Archer CBE, BSc (Hons), DIC, PhD, FRSE, FREng, was a professor in the Department of Earth Science and Engineering. Led by a group of ten of John’s former students, the fund provides support for PhD students in the Department of Earth Science and Engineering at Imperial College London, through an annual Scholarship, and allows Professor John Archer’s generous spirit to live on.

After all is said and done, it’s his personal legacy of dealing with and helping people that shines the most."

The self-sustaining scholarship fund for PhD students was developed thanks to the fundraising efforts of the Group of Ten. This scholarship has been presented annually as the John S Archer Award since 2009.

From 2019, with the help and support of the Group of Ten, the Department is growing the fund to extend the support available to students in the Department of Earth Science and Engineering with an aim to fund an MSc scholarship. The group calls on your generosity to contribute to this worthy cause.

Members of the Group of Ten: Omar Abu-elbashar (PhD, 1990), Ali Al-Gheithy (PhD, 1993), HE Mohammed Al-Rumhy (PhD, 1990), Fernando Alves (MSc, 1982), Ivor Ellul (PhD, 1987), Pauly Enwere (PhD, 1991), Alex Folefac (PhD 1988), Xudong Jing (PhD, 1990), Rashed Noman (PhD, 1987), James Wang (PhD, 1992)
