William Hills Scholarship

All award winners take part in Faculty-organised promotional activity in local schools and colleges to highlight the course and scholarship to prospective applicants.
Winners must maintain a grade average of at least 60% through each academic stage to keep receiving the award.

The William Hills Scholarship offers six students £2,000 each year for the duration of their 4-year MEng Mechanical Engineering degree. An additional two awards are available for two students on year two of their BEng Mechanical Engineering degree.

The scholarship is available to full-time MEng Mechanical Engineering students, as well as students who transfer from the BEng Mechanical Engineering to the MEng in Year 3.

In 2020/21 two additional awards are available for BEng Mechanical Engineering students. They will be available for the best two performing students in Year 2.

The scholarships are awarded based on performance at the end of the first academic year.
