Handbook - Arkwright Scholarships

Recommendations

Info

OUR PURPOSE The Arkwright Scholarships Trust exists to identify, inspire and nurture future leaders in engineering and related areas of design. We do this by awarding prestigious Arkwright Engineering Scholarships, through a rigorous selection process, to high-ability students who apply during year 11 (England and Wales), S4 (Scotland) and year 12 (Northern Ireland). Our Engineering Scholarships support students through their A Levels / Scottish Highers (or equivalent) and encourage students to pursue engineering at university or through a higher apprenticeship and to take up engineering or related design careers. Our Engineering Scholarships are sponsored by industrial companies, universities, charitable trusts, professional engineering organisations, the Armed Services and personal donations. Sponsors are encouraged to develop links to their Scholars. We also offer a small number of Undergraduate Scholarships to support a select group of existing Arkwright Engineering Scholars through university. FOREWORD This Handbook has been compiled for Teachers and Heads of Department who wish to submit students for consideration for Arkwright Engineering Scholarships. This Handbook includes the criteria for School Affiliation, the Scholarship Application Process and details of how the Scholarships are administered. The handbook is revised periodically to take account of any changes in the Curriculum or to Arkwright’s processes. Note, for brevity we use the abbreviation D&T in this Handbook to denote courses in Design and Technology; Craft, Design & Technology Studies; Engineering; Electronics; Product Design and all other associated subjects. Any questions that are not answered in this Handbook may be directed to enquiries@arkwright.org.uk or to the Schools and Scholars Administrator at the address on the rear of this Handbook. www.arkwright.org.uk Correct at the time of going to press © Arkwright Scholarships Trust 2012 Page 2 2013 Schools Handbook V8.doc
