Do you want to design bridges, stop the next cyber threat, or design the next best-selling video game? Then Millennium Point wants to hear from you.
Students across the West Midlands once more have a life-changing opportunity to apply for a fully paid-for degree in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths), with the launch of the Millennium Point Charitable Trust Scholarship 2023.
Applications open on Monday 9th January 2023.
The programme, now in its ninth year, offers one lucky undergraduate complete funding for their degree, from a choice of over 20 courses at the faculty of Computing, Engineering and the Built Environment at Birmingham City University (BCU).
Hatem, a 18 year old student from Yardley was 2022's winner of the life-changing scholarship. He impressed judges with his passion for his chosen subject in both application and the assessment day. He is now currently studying computer science at Birmingham City University. The Millennium Point Trust Scholarship have already funded eight inspiring young people from the region through their degrees, some of the students have since graduated and have gone on to work in STEM careers.
The scholarship is the flagship initiative from the Millennium Point Charitable Trust and is fully funded by the charity. All of the commercial activity that takes place in the Millennium Point building feeds back into the Millennium Point Charitable Trust, enabling the charity to donate, invest and facilitate more than £3.25m to STEM related organisations, projects and initiatives in the West Midlands, during 2022.
Applications are only being accepted from students in the West Midlands region, who cannot already be studying for an undergraduate degree; submissions are particularly being encouraged from traditionally marginalised groups in the field of STEM, such as LGBTQ or BAME people, as well as those from disadvantaged backgrounds.
