Biranavan Sivapuratharasu has been selected to receive an Arkwright Scholarship after successfully passing the Arkwright Aptitude Paper demonstrating flair and originality in solving Engineering Design problems and presenting GCSE work to a panel of interviewers earlier in March and April.
The Selection Process culminated in an interview for shortlisted candidates (Biranavan was one of 770 applicants) at one of 6 Universities. A team exercise presented by the university provided the interviewees with an experience of the challenge and excitement of engineering related careers. Parents and young people toured the university and explored the diversity of engineering and the rewards of a career in the sector.
Scholarships are sponsored by Industry and Charitable Trusts and will be formally presented at a ceremony hosted by The Institution of Engineering and Technology, Savoy Place, London on Friday, 30 October 2009. Biranavan will carry the status of ‘Arkwright Scholar’ into university.
