The CIHT Foundation in association with The Arkwright Scholarships Trust are pleased to announce two scholarships have been awarded to STEM students at the Arkwright 25th Anniversary Awards Ceremony.
CIHT member David Sprunt awarded the scholarships to students Gergory Jackson and Billy Horton on the 28th October 2016. The aim of the scholarship is to ensure that high-potential young people stay engaged in the engineering careers pipeline.
Dr Martin Thomas CEng FIET, Chief Executive of the Arkwright Scholarships Trust said: “I have been hugely impressed by the creativity, technical skills and leadership prowess of the young men and women receiving their Scholarships this year.
It is well-documented that the country needs 100,000s of new engineers to take the economy and society forward. But some of these newly-trained people need to also act as outstanding leadership beacons within industry and academia. The Arkwright Engineering Scholarships are the first step on that road to achieving such a vital position within UK engineering."
