Do you want to design bridges, stop the next cyber threat, or create the next best-selling video game? Then Millennium Point wants to hear from you.
Students across the West Midlands once more have a life-changing opportunity to apply for a fully paid-for degree in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths), with the launch of the Millennium Point Charitable Trust Scholarship 2023.
Applications open on January 9th 2023 and close on March 17th.
The programme, now in its ninth year, offers one lucky undergraduate complete funding for their degree, from a choice of over 20 courses at the faculty of Computing, Engineering and the Built Environment at Birmingham City University (BCU).
The scholarship is the flagship initiative from the Millennium Point Charitable Trust, and is fully funded by the charity. All of the commercial activity that takes place in the Millennium Point building feeds back into the Millennium Point Charitable Trust, enabling the charity to donate, invest and facilitate more than £3.25m to STEM related organisations, projects and initiatives in the West Midlands, during 2022.
Asima Adnan from Dudley, the 2021 Scholarship winner, is currently in her second year of studying for a degree in Planning at BCU. She commented: “Winning the scholarship was a wonderful surprise. It allowed me as a single mom to concentrate on building myself as a strong academic individual rather than to worry about how to financially pay back for what I have achieved. Millennium Point has given me the financial and emotional support I need to continue progressing into achieving my degree.”
Applications are only being accepted from students in the West Midlands region, who cannot already be studying for an undergraduate degree. Submissions are particularly being encouraged from traditionally marginalised groups in the field of STEM.
