Welcome to Arkwright Scholarships

I would like to welcome you to The Arkwright Scholarships Trust site. I believe as the Chief Executive of the programme that the future prosperity of this country is dependent upon encouraging the most talented of our young people to consider a career in the field of design and engineering and lead ultimately to their becoming the much needed young engineers of the future.
Arkwright has a proven track record in encouraging and stimulating talented 15/16 year old students to take up engineering or technological careers by awarding Scholarships during 'A' Level/Scottish Highers which are funded by industry partners and charitable trusts.
In the last 7 years there have been significant changes to the sponsor led programme and sponsors are given the opportunity to put forward criteria for the young people they would like to support. Many of our sponsors have maintained their partnership with Arkwright for a number of years.
The cost of supporting a Scholar is only £1800 over two years and this level has been maintained over the last 4 years. You can make a donation via the CAF website or pledge support and pay later [pdf].
I hope the excitement of what we are achieving with The Arkwright Scholarships Trust is reflected on this site and you enjoy discovering how we can work in partnership together.
Linda Scott OBE
Chief Executive
