Arkwright inspires future leaders in Engineering and related areas of Design.
We work with schools' Design & Technology, Technological Studies and Engineering Departments to identify high-calibre students in year 11 (England and Wales) and S4 (Scotland) and nurture them through their A levels and Scottish Highers.
Schools can become affiliated to the Arkwright Scholarships Trust quickly, easily and for free. Why not join over 700 schools who already benefit from belonging to the scheme?
Our case studies show the excellent exam results achieved by Arkwright Engineering Scholars and the enviable career progress they have made throughout the twenty years of the Scheme. In that time we have awarded over 2640 Scholarships, growing year on year. In 2011 we have awarded 298 Scholarships.
See the links on the right for further details of affiliation and the student application process.
"I have always rated Arkwright Scholarships highly. Scholars who apply to study at our College demonstrate a strong interest in the real world of engineering. "
David Robb, Mechanical Engineering Admissions Tutor, Imperial College
