A major engineering firm has announced it is now accepting applications for its 2024 scholarship programme.
The Ocean Kinetics scheme is open to students who plan to study a Stem subject (science, technology, engineering or mathematics) at university or college.
The successful candidate will be awarded an annual bursary of £3,000 and will receive personal mentoring and paid work experience at Ocean Kinetics outside term time.
