SCOTTISH Power is set to demonstrate its commitment to nurturing the UK’s future energy leaders by funding 16 new Masters scholarships in energy-related disciplines this year.
The energy supplier is calling on UK final year undergraduates looking to progress their careers in the energy, digital and environmental industries to apply for the 2018/19 scholarships programme which opened yesterday.
The programme, which is now in its seventh year, has supported students from Cambridge University, Imperial College London, Edinburgh University, Glasgow University, Strathclyde University, Liverpool University and East Anglia University.
The same line up of universities will work in partnership with the energy supplier again for this year’s student intake where 16 students will receive full course fee funding for their Masters studies as well as a living allowance. Scottish Power has also pledged to work with successful scholars to help them into the workplace after their studies.
Hamish Watson, HR director at Scottish Power, said: “There is no doubt that the future of the energy industry lies in the hands of our bright young people and Scottish Power is committed to supporting the advancement of their education. We’re delighted to be offering these scholarships opportunities this year; it presents a huge opportunity for graduates to develop their skills and knowledge, and to demonstrate how they can contribute to our future.”
Applications close on April 2.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
