Congratulations to Kirkham Grammar School Lower Sixth Form pupil, Ben Firth, who has been awarded The AtkinsRéalis Arkwright Engineering Scholarship. This is in recognition of outstanding potential as a future leader in Engineering.
The Arkwright Scholarships Trust ensures that more of the country’s ‘brightest and best’ science and maths pupils remain focused on an engineering path over the 16 to 18 age range - the critical years when teenage dreams and aspirations translate into firm tertiary education choices and career plans. The charity fully supports both higher apprentice and undergraduate career paths.
The charity awards prestigious scholarships through rigorous selection to outstanding technology-minded school pupils. Candidates must pass a selection process comprising a detailed application form with teacher’s reference, a two-hour engineering problem-solving exam and an engineering-focused interview. The scholarships provide engineering enrichment, funding and experience throughout the two years of A levels and BTEC Level 3s.
Well done, Ben!
