What is the Power Academy?
“It gives you a head start and the best start to your career.”
A Power Academy scholarship is a brilliant opportunity for students to discover what they’re interested in, develop work-based skills and even secure a position to build a career in the power industry, all while receiving financial support that allows them to focus on their studies.
Up to 50 scholarships are awarded each year to students and participating universities. But what does it actually provide?
- a bursary of £3000 for each year of study
- mentors from industry partners
- paid summer work placements
- annual summer seminar on important sector issues.
