Sherborne School’s Lower Sixth Former James Li, has been awarded a prestigious Arkwright Engineering Scholarship to support his Sixth Form studies and his intention to read Engineering at University.
It was James’ design of a rig to test a toothbrush’s performance to establish its lifespan which enabled him to successfully pass the entrance exam. At an interview at Easter, he presented his GCSE Design & Technology Design project to a panel that awarded him the Scholarship. The scholarships are a recognised marker of potential and this should help James with his UCAS application, when it comes.
The Arkwright Engineering Scholarships exist to identify, inspire, and nurture future leaders in Engineering. They do this by awarding Arkwright Engineering Scholarships, through a rigorous selection process, to high-potential students who apply during the Fifth Form. The Engineering Scholarships support students through their A Levels and encourage students to pursue Engineering at university or through a higher-level apprenticeship and to take up Engineering careers. The Arkwright Engineering Scholarships are the most respected awards of their type in the UK. Scholarship are sponsored by a range of industrial and commercial companies, charitable trusts, professional engineering organisations, universities, trade associations, the Armed Services, schools, and personal donors.
