In November, Shabaa (Lower Sixth) attended an evening at the Institute of Engineering and Technology in London to collect his Arkwright Engineering Scholarship.

The Scholarship is the most esteemed engineering award for 15 to 16 year olds. The selection process is particularly rigorous, with very few successful in attaining a Scholarship. After first passing the written application and aptitude test, remaining candidates are then interviewed by industry professionals before the successful candidates are selected for the Scholarship.

Scholars receive £600 of funding towards their own engineering projects, expert mentoring, and access to exclusive seminars and events. Shabaa's Scholarship has been sponsored by Imperial College London, who will support him over the forthcoming two years of his Scholarship. We are incredibly proud of Shabaa's impressive achievement, which has been thoroughly deserved.
