Royal Academy of Engineering

Engineering Leaders Scholarship

The Engineering Leaders Scholarships (ELS) programme provides support for undergraduates in UK Higher Education Institutions who display the potential to become leaders and innovators in engineering and who want to become leadership role models for the next generation of engineers. These scholarships help ambitious undergraduates, in engineering and related disciplines, to undertake an accelerated personal development programme, which will help them to gain the necessary skills to become engineering leaders, soon after graduating. Successful awardees will receive £5,000 to be used over three years towards career-related personal development activities, dedicated training and networking events, the support of an Academy Mentor, invitations to exclusive Academy events and opportunities, and access to an alumni community of over 300 engineers. The Academy is committed to diversity and inclusion and encourages applications from women, and Black, Asian, and other minority ethnic groups who are currently under-represented in engineering, including those studying at post-92 universities.
