The Royal Academy of Engineering has awarded Engineering Leaders Scholarships to 44 outstanding engineering undergraduates studying at universities around the UK.
The scholarships enable ambitious undergraduates, in engineering and related disciplines, to undertake an accelerated personal development programme that will help them to gain the necessary skills to become engineering leaders soon after graduating.
The latest 44 awardees have already begun working on their individual personal development plans that will support their progression throughout university and after graduation. In addition, they receive:

The Academy has been running the Engineering Leaders Scholarship (ELS) programme for more than 25 years, supporting undergraduate engineering students in UK higher education institutions who demonstrate not only a passion for engineering but also the potential to become leaders and innovators in engineering and role models for future generations of engineers.
Lynda Mann, Head of Education Programmes at the Academy, said: “The Engineering Leaders Scholarships programme supports the Academy’s goal of creating a world-leading, truly diverse and inclusive engineering workforce. Our latest awardees demonstrate the wealth of talent that exists right across the UK that we must nurture so that these individuals enter the workforce with the appropriate soft and technical skills required by industry and they are able to help tackle today’s pressing societal challenges.”
Students who have been through the programme often go on to become leaders in engineering early in their careers. A book of case studies produced to celebrate the scheme’s 25th anniversary in 2020 illustrates some of the many past recipients who have gone on to greater success.
