Arkwright Scholarship

We are delighted to announce that George Christian has been awarded an Arkwright Scholarship. One of the most prestigious scholarship schemes in the UK, Arkwright Engineering Scholarships are awarded to high-calibre students through a rigorous selection process. These scholarships support students through their A-Levels, encouraging them to pursue engineering at university or through high-quality apprenticeships.

George is the third Bedford School boy in the last three years to be awarded an Arkwright Scholarship – Gabriel Von der Hyde received an Arkwright Scholarship in 2015 and James Hughes in 2014.  The scholarship award includes a cash prize, access to mentoring with Medical equipment designer, DePuy
Synthes, and enrichment opportunities including industry-based engineering experience days, magazine subscriptions and technical lectures.
