Formula Student Build Fund

RS Grass Roots Education are proud sponsors of iMechE Formula Student and we've opened a Build Fund to support teams with hands-on technical learning as you work to bring your designs to life!

The application is simple, tell us about your team, and your objectives. Tell us how you would use the fund, which technical skills the competition is helping you to develop, and how our fund would have an impact on your team and your competition entry.

Entries will be judged against the level of impact the fund will have on your build and your team's vision for the Formula Student competition.
