UK Scholarships for university and engineers available now

[Miles Magister]

The Worshipful Company of Coachmakers and Coach Harness Makers of London is an active livery investing in, and supporting, young people to develop their careers in aerospace and automotive engineering. I am pleased to announce our Awards for 2022 are open for applications. Please see the attached document for more detail and a link to the web site from which applications can be made. Please feel free to print it for your student noticeboard, flying club, work or hangar notice boards and share it with your network and groups in posts visible to friends and colleagues and group members, but please do not share it in posts open for anyone to see. Funds are available for aerospace students across a number of areas.



To access the funds, first you must apply...

Is there any reason why you don't want this publicised?

For example, we put "club notices" on our facebook page rather than a noticeboard. Keeps the place tidier!

But it appears you wouldn't want this on Facebook?

If it is a closed group visible only to your club members that absolutely is fine and I welcome the publicity with your and other flying clubs because the aim of the awards is to help people by distributing good funding to people who can benefit from it, it is just that some of our people did not want our notices going out to the world visible to everyone.

Isn't this somewhat illiogical? Aim to help people by distributing funds, but trying to to limit who knows about it?

The wider you open the window, the more dirt blows in. To me it makes sense to send the info only where serious candidates could be found. Such as aerodromes and aeroclubs.

Except they're not opening a window and getting dirt blown in, they're offering to help young people. If someone applied because they saw a publicly shared facebook post, would this be a terrible thing?!From their website;
The Aerospace Awards Committee (AAC) is one of three specialist sub-committees of the Charity Committee (CC), the other two being the Automotive Bursary Committee and the Carriage Driving Awards Committee. The AAC Chairman is Steward Neil Sheath MRAeS who runs the committee along with other Liverymen members who are experienced in the aerospace industry, military, civil or private flying, all with an overarching interest in helping young people to realise the very best of their potential.

The Livery has a policy of inclusion and embraces all people irrespective of race, gender, disability, religion, medical or other need. It is about giving equal access and opportunities and not permitting any discrimination or intolerance. This policy affects all aspects of the AAC processes provided the applicants for the awards meet any professional or medical standards required for the duties or qualification to which the award is associated. Each award has associated terms and conditions which are not considered to be discriminatory in any way but are designed to ensure the potential applicants are within the target audience of the Livery’s wider policies.

And who is going to handle all those applications from people who have no real interest, or don't stand any chance of being selected? "Dirt" in this case includes useless applications.

I had an interest in flying, but had no near organisations, and could not have afforded it even if there had been.
I started flying in my first year at university, first opportunity.
As a teacher, I passed details of such an offer to an S6 pupil I knew was interested in flying. She was called for an interview in London just before her final exam. She turned it down, as the travel from Inverness could have harmed her exam performance.
I suspect the dates kept clear of English S6 exams, but not Scottish.
