• Arkwright Engineering Scholarship 

  In 2022 some product design students were approached with the opportunity to apply for an Arkwright engineering scholarship. This scholarship includes many opportunities within the engineering world, mentoring and financial benefits for both scholars and their schools. We found out this month that myself and one other student were successful in our applications and we will be attending the award ceremony for this next month. The application process in which we had to go through to gain this award was very rigorous and was composed of many parts. We had to do an online form, a written aptitude exam and finally, once we successfully passed through these two stages, an online interview with engineers from Arkwright. This process was extremely useful to those who applied as it mirrors many aspects of UCAS applications and helped us familiarise ourselves with this process in preparation for next year. Finding out I had been awarded this scholarship was such an amazing feeling, and both, myself and Carmen, are extremely grateful for this incredible opportunity.

• During their time at Parliament Hill every student takes part in the exciting First Give Programme, designed to build a stronger community and upskill future leaders. First Give offers students the opportunity to research and raise awareness of a social issue of their choice and then present their project to their peers, school and local community. Students compete against each other in Teams to win £1000 for their chosen charity by delivering professional presentations showcasing their creativity, public speaking skills and passion for social justice. 

  The programme makes a huge impact on our local community, not only through fundraising but also by raising the profiles of smaller and local charities. The most recent winners of the project were interviewed by the Ham & High newspaper who were most impressed with their commitment to social action. They were also so inspiring that First Give have now completed a case study on their project which takes pride of place on their website.
