The students will be studying ‘A’ levels and expecting to take up a place at a UK University studying for a Science/Technology or Engineering degree.
The students will be high-achievers and also be able to demonstrate that the scholarship will make a significant contribution to their ability to sustain a course at University.
The award will be dependent on the student taking their place at their chosen University in the year they apply.
No award will be given to a student who takes a gap year.
They will be given the title Surrey County Scholar.
The Head of Science/Head of Sixth Form and Headteacher, at the school recommends appropriate students, along with their UCAS form plus a letter of recommendation.
This is followed by a Surrey SATRO selection board and finally the sponsoringCompany.
Preference will be given to young people whose financial circumstances are such that an award will make a real contribution to their chance to go to University or, once there, to make their studies their principal focus.
The Company has the opportunity of maintaining contact with a high-achiever during their period at University. This can support graduate recruitment directly and create a link with the student’s department. The Company may also wish to employ the student during vacation periods and during their industry placement.
The Surrey Scholars is a high-profile award in Surrey with the Lord Lieutenant, the High Sheriff, Chair of the Surrey County Council and the Chair of Surrey Learning and Skills Council, all sitting on the selection board.
A presentation ceremony is held for students and sponsoring Companies in September each year.
The Company is able to sponsor a student from a local school studying a relevant discipline. |
