THE THORROWGOOD
SCHOLARSHIP AWARD
The Thorrowgood Scholarship is awarded
annually to a student member excelling in the
Institution’s Professional Examination. The award
consists of the Institution’s Thorrowgood Scholarship
Medallion, and a cheque in the region of
£1,000, that is presented at the Annual General
Meeting of the Institution in the April following the
examination.
The terms of the Thorrowgood bequest require
that it should be utilised to assist the development of
young engineers employed in the railway signalling
and telecommunications field. A requirement of the
award is that it is used to finance a study tour of
railway and/or signalling installations or manufacturing
facilities, usually in a foreign administration, and
that the award holder presents a report about the
study tour to the Younger Members’ Section.
To be eligible for the award students are usually
expected to have sat the required four modules in
the same year, and achieved outstanding results.
