Charlie attended a presentation event at Leeds City Museum where he met with his mentor for the programme and other scholars.

Competition for the 2025 entry was tough. 1,500 applications were made and only 350 scholarships awarded. The Arkwright Scholarship has been running since 1991, with the aim of the scholarship to identify future leaders in Engineering and nurture their high potential. 

The rigorous process saw Charlie submit an application, sit an online aptitude exam, and take part in a 1 hour interview to secure a scholarship, which is sponsored by The Douglas Bomford Trust. The mission of The Douglas Bomford Trust is to improve communication and technology in agriculture and food production.

Through this sponsorship Charlie will be able to take advantage of work experience events, career planning, and a financial award to assist with his studies.

Well done Charlie!
