Arkwright Scholarships 2014!

Yeah it basically said that I was successful at interview but they were unable to find me a sponsor yet but they say that there is continual scouting for for sponsorship. Yeah I'm gonna stay positive they say you can always use the fact that you are a successful arkwright applicant for CV etc. But also I'm gonna ask various individuals if they know or can affiliate with Arkwright etc. Yeah thanks for the encouragement though

Yeah that's what I'm trying to find out

Regardless of whether you are matched to a sponsor or not, the value of showing that you were recommended for a scholarship anyway is immense, so in what is now the worst possible scenario of you not getting a sponsor, you've still got a lot for personal statement, CV and the like. Also, if people who were originally matched to a sponsor don't reply in time, or their required conditions (as on the letter) change, or they drop out for other reasons, then the group you're in have first priority to get their sponsorships instead!

Hi,
I am going to apply for a scholarship next year and since I don't take D.T or similar I wasn't sure what to do my project on.

It would be great if some of you who are previous applicants could tell me what you did, even if you did take D.T, because I am really stuck on what to do and would like to get the bulk done in the holidays before year 11 sets in.

Also, do you have to tell them about your project when you apply, or is it just for the interview?

Thanks

It depends on what type of engineering you want to do. I said I was interested in software engineering so I developed various websites/games/software.

When you apply you do have to write a bit about what your project consists of. But if you are successful in the paper and get to the interview stage you have to take your project along and you talk about it with the interviewers.

Got my letter the other day and found out I got a scholarship and a sponsor, SO HAPPY But definitely go for it with applying! Best of luck

I did do DT and just used my project for that, which was making a wooden chest- nothing to do with my aerospace engineering interest.

You have to include a brief description in your application and then bring your project (if possible) to the interview, if you get to that stage.
I would say that as long as you do something that demonstrates some skill and that you would be able to talk about you'll be fine.

Good luck!

As everyone else has said just do something you enjoy! I did graphic products at GCSE but instead of talking about my project for that I talked about a go-kart thing I made at home last summer At interviews I went to people had anything from a shelf to a laser cutter, and if youre not restricted by coursework then try to do something you enjoy and thats original

Hi,
I know its been a full two years but I'm applying now for the Arkwright Scholarship and your post caught my attention, because like you, I'm also interested in software engineering. And it seemed from the applications and their website that they're more geared towards the mechanical and the industrial side of things. I assumed that an interested in software engineering would put me at disadvantage.

So how was your experience applying with an interest in software? Were you offered a place?

Thanks.
