2012 Arkwright Undergraduate Scholarships
We are delighted to be able to offer up to four Undergraduate Scholarships as a result of generous funding from The Lloyd’s Register Educational Trust and The Reece Foundation. The Scholarships are for Arkwright Scholars who will start their university studies in September 2012. The Scholarships are worth between £9000 and £12,000 to recipients over the duration of their undergraduate studies. All Arkwright Undergraduate Scholarships require Scholars to study an engineering degree accredited by The Engineering Council. This will ensure they are able to achieve Chartered Engineer status later in their career. Arkwright Scholars can obtain full details by logging into the Scholars & Alumni Section or our website and clicking "Undergraduate Scholarships" in the blue menu.

Free STEM Activity Days in school or college from the IET
Applications are now open to host one of the IET’s Faraday Challenge Days. Faraday Challenge Days give 12-13 yr old students the opportunity to design and make a prototype solution to a genuine engineering challenge and are delivered in schools free of charge by the IET. The winning team from each event receives a prize for themselves and a trophy for their school, as well as a chance to compete in the National Final in London in June 2012 where the top prize is £1,000 for their school. The deadline for ‘host school’ applications is region specific – Go to the IET Faraday website for further details and to download the ‘host school’ application form.
