Six S4 Design and Technology pupils were selected and recently sat a two-hour Arkwright Aptitude Paper, which sought flair and originality in solving engineering design problems. The Arkwright Scholarships Trust administers one of the most prestigious scholarship schemes in the UK.They inspire future leaders in engineering and related areas of design. This is done by awarding Arkwright Engineering Scholarships, through a rigorous selection process, to high-calibre students. The Engineering Scholarships support students through their Highers and encourage students to pursue engineering or related areas of design at university or through a high-quality apprenticeship and to take up careers in the field.The Engineering Scholarships are sponsored by industrial companies, universities, charitable trusts, trade associations, professional engineering institutions, the Armed Services and personal donors.
