Ford Blue Oval Scholarship
The Ford Blue Oval Scholarship aims to help develop the UK's next generation of student engineers, scientists and innovators.
Ford is providing scholarships of £10,000 per student over a three-year period for ten students to study on a selection of engineering and science programmes at the University of Bath.
We are one of 12 leading universities selected by Ford to receive scholarships as part of Ford of Britain’s centenary celebrations, marking 100 years as a leading marketing and car sales operation in the UK.
Announced by William Clay Ford, great-grandson of Henry Ford and executive chairman of Ford Motor Company, the scholarship programme recognises the skills that are fundamental to Ford’s future industrial base, the re-balancing of the UK economy and long-term economic success.
The University and Ford have been working together for over 25 years. The company has been involved in mentoring undergraduate student projects as well as many aspects of research, through both direct-funded programmes on campus and other collaborations.
