Ford invests £1million in future engineering talent
Ford has launched a £1million initiative aimed at developing 100 of the UK's next generation student engineers, scientists and innovators.
The motor giant is providing sponsorship of £10,000 over a three year period for 100 undergraduates on a selection of engineering, science, manufacturing and technology courses at leading UK universities.
William Clay Ford, great grandson of Henry Ford, said: "This scholarship programme marks our UK centenary and recognises the skills that are fundamental to Ford's future industrial base, the rebalancing of the UK economy and long term economic success."
The universities set to benefit from the new programme include Bath, Bradford, Brunel, Cardiff, East Anglia, Imperial College London, Loughborough, Nottingham, Southampton, Strathclyde, Surrey and Warwick.
