The scholarship is conditional on successful applicants meeting the requirements of their offer and enrolling on an Electronics and Computer Science undergraduate degree at Southampton. The decision is made by a panel of ECS academics based on the applicant's response to a registration question asking how they would use digital technology to bring a positive benefit to their local community, in 500 words or less. This scholarship particularly encourages applications from underrepresented groups in STEM, especially women, following Ada Lovelace's legacy as a pioneering female in computing. Recipients gain financial support, recognition, mentorship opportunities, and access to an exclusive network of scholars within the Electronics and Computer Science department.
