Students hand-picked from across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have achieved a coveted Arkwright Engineering Scholarship award. A total of 415 scholars will receive financial and mentoring support through their A-Levels and Scottish Advanced Higher qualifications, as part of a drive to inspire future leaders in engineering.
The Arkwright Engineering Scholarships in partnership with CIHT Foundation is a programme from national STEM education charity, the Smallpeice Trust, which has been providing scholarships to students since 1991.
Since its inception, more than 5,700 young people have passed through the scholarship programme, including award-winning BBC presenter Steph McGovern, who forged a career at Black & Decker before moving into business journalism.
This year more than 1,370 students aged between 15 and 16 years old applied, following nominations from their schools. Scholarships were awarded to 126 female students, representing 30.4% of all 2019 Arkwright scholars.
