Student scholarships are provided from time to time when a business provides a scholarship to a student to support their time at college along with work experience, mentoring and/or shadowing opportunities. This is a fantastic opportunity for students to get real-life experience as well as a grant to help them during their time at college.
The following scholarships are currently available or will be available very soon.
