William Clay Ford, great-grandson of Henry Ford and executive chairman of Ford Motor Company, announced that Ford is providing sponsorship of £10,000 per student over a three-year period for 100 undergraduates on a selection of engineering, science, manufacturing and technology courses at leading UK universities. It is aimed for helping to develop 100 of the UK’s next generation student engineers, scientists and innovators. The scholarship programme recognises the skills that are fundamental to Ford’s future industrial base, the rebalancing of the UK economy and long-term economic success.
Candidates should be studying at one of these courses: engineering, science, manufacturing and technology and excel academically.
