Arkwright Scholarships Trust, The

A Small Investment Today, A Greater Reward Tomorrow

“I count myself fortunate to have become an engineer. Sponsoring a scholar is a way of sharing that good fortune with a new generation of engineers.”
Dr G Avison, Personal Sponsor

Engineers are crucial in so many aspects of our lives today. With urgent global and domestic engineering challenges to be solved, The Arkwright Scholarships Trust believes that we must ensure more of our top young people are encouraged to help solve the engineering challenges of tomorrow. Since 1991 Arkwright has been awarding Scholarships to young people with a talent in engineering and design as they start their A’ Level or Scottish Highers. Offering mentoring, funding and networking opportunities, we help young people to achieve their potential as engineers.

“In hindsight, the Arkwright Scholarship was an incredible gateway through my final years of school into engineering, and has certainly been a vital element in helping me to where I am today.”
Charles Sudborough, Arkwright Scholar 02-04

“Through the strong and respected name of the Arkwright Scholarships Trust, the Royal Navy believes that its profile as an attractive future engineering employer amongst Sixth Form students is enhanced beyond that it could hope to achieve through its own efforts.”
Barrie Harvey, Staff Officer (Engineer Officer Recruiting), Royal Navy

Engineers are a vital part of our country’s workforce and armed services – a donation or legacy to the Arkwright Scholarships Trust is an investment in a young engineer’s career that will last them a lifetime.
