Offer a scholarship

Offering a scholarship can bring benefits to both the student and the sponsor, helping to build long-lasting relationships through Harper Adams University.

Why offer a scholarship?

The world needs new talent, and when you offer a scholarship you are helping to nurture the future of individuals, the sector, the wider world and your own business. You could choose to offer scholarship in two ways:

• a cash scholarship (for example covering or making a contribution towards tuition fees)
• both a cash scholarship and a placement year

You benefit

Here are some of the ways in which you can benefit from offering a scholarship:

Offering a scholarship with a placement gives the additonal benefits of:

• A huge pool of talent from which to recruit your growing workforce.
• Closer ties to the leading university in the sector.
• Raise your profile amongst talented students and their family and friends.
• Satisfy your corporate responsibility.
• Let your clients know your company cares about the education and training of the next generation.
• Promote your business to the wider academic community and forums
• Key account management with annual progress reviews, helping to establish a relationship with your scholar.
• Attendance of the Scholarship Fair ahead of the main Careers and Placement Fair, giving you 'first access' of placement student(s), and also the chance to network with future talent.
• Enjoy students' up to date knowledge and fresh ideas.
• During the placement year companies get to know and train their chosen student - it's a bit like an extended interview.
• Following placement, a number of companies also offer scholars a job after they graduate, as, through their year in industry, they have gained the confidence to get stuck in from day one.

Students benefit

• Financial support.
• Increased confidence.
• The chance to learn and earn in the real world.
• Exploring the field they want to work in.
• Learning from their colleagues.
• Developing vocational skills.
• Relating their work experiences to their studies.
• Preparing them for graduate employment.
