The Academy participating companies are looking to sponsor good motivated students who:
- are about to begin a course at the Universities of Nottingham, Newcastle or Bristol.
- will be studying for an MEng or BEng Degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering or a Degree with an Electrical component.
- are EU citizens or have a permanent right to work in the UK after graduation.
Academy Scholars will benefit from:
- a bursary of £2,500 for each year of study.
- 8 weeks summer vacation training paid at a rate of £1250 per month.
- Academy events, such as the Summer School, where they will become acquainted with the Electrical Energy Engineering community.
- a total of one third of the university fees incurred by the scholar during their sponsorship, to the maximum of £6000 will be paid. Payment will be made in 2 equal instalments at the end of the scholar's 1st and 2nd years of graduate employment with their sponsoring company.
Please note: The sponsoring company will include in the scholar’s contract a clause requiring the scholar to refund a proportion of bursary payments should the scholar decline a reasonable written offer of employment made by 31 October in the year preceding graduation. This clause may be enforced at the company’s own discretion.
