Amazon and Royal Academy of Engineering announce recipients of engineering scholarship fund
Amazon and the Royal Academy of Engineering have announced the 2024 recipients of the Amazon Future Engineer Scholarship, an award that will provide financial support to 15 women students from low-income backgrounds studying engineering and computer science degrees in the UK.
The program, which has awarded over £1.25m of funding to 90 women since its launch in 2021, will this year see 15 recipients each receive a financial support package of up to £20,000 from Amazon.
Recipients will each receive £5,000 annually for up to four years to support their university-related expenses, including tuition, accommodation, and living costs. Alongside this financial support, awardees will also benefit from a comprehensive package that includes mentorship from Amazon employees to enhance their professional growth, provide networking opportunities, and the transition into employment.
This year’s cohort includes Zoriana Aleyeva, a student who fled to Birmingham with her family following the outbreak of war in Ukraine, and has recently started a computer science degree at Warwick University, and Anurati Panchkoty, whose parents came to the UK from Nepal and who is passionate about the prospect of AI benefiting the health sector in the future.
