A scholarship programme has been launched at a North East university to help women from minority ethnic backgrounds into engineering careers.
Leading engineering consultancy Rolton Group – which is involved in Britishvolt’s gigaplant factory in Blyth – is funding the programme at Northumbria University in moves to support women interested in studying engineering.
The Rolton Group Undergraduate Engineering Scholarships, which will start in September, are worth £6,000 each and will be awarded to academically gifted black, asian and minority ethnic women to study on one of Northumbria’s engineering courses.
