Overview
The fund was set up in 2007 by the son, daughter and grandson of William Allan Hill to commemorate his contribution to engineering.
William Allan Hill graduated from Queen’s University in 1925 with a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering and in 1934 with an MSc. His career as a Civil Engineer began with the London Midland & Scottish Railway first in Belfast, then London, and continued with the Belfast & County Down Railway and the Ulster Transport Authority before his retirement in 1968. He retained his interest in all aspects of civil engineering until his death in 2007 at the age of 102.
The fund is established to provide bursaries to facilitate travel and/or attendance at conferences in the field of structural engineering. Preference will be given to bridge engineering. Conferences may be interpreted to include visits to gain technical experience. Registration fees for virtual/online conferences may also be considered.
