The Old Centralians' Trust has announced the winners of this year's student activity awards.

Every year the Trust, which operates as the charitable arm of the City & Guilds College Association, gives out two student activity awards to undergraduates in each of the ten departments in the Faculty of Engineering.

Each of these twenty awards is worth £750 to a returning student who plays an active role in society, sport or union affairs. It is intended that the Award can be used to help ease the costs of being involved in such activities during the academic year.

The Student Activity Awards are not based on academic merit, but offer a reward for students' all-round involvement in University life.
