Tom Millen Engineering Scholarship

A generous donation from the family of Tom Millen will enable two outstanding Engineering students to benefit from a bursary of £1,500.

This award is in memory of Tom Millen, who served as Superintendent of Laboratories and Workshops in the School of Engineering at Lancaster University. He began working for the School in 1969 and retired in 1977. He believed passionately in the value of education and his family are generously supporting the award to recognise and support social mobility and widening access to higher education.

Each year, a £1,500 bursary will be offered to support two Engineering students who have performed at a high academic level at the start of their studies at Lancaster. It will be awarded to two first-year students during their second year who meet the following criteria:

  • The recipients must be home fee-paying students
  • The recipients must be in receipt of the Lancaster Opportunity Scholarship or Lancaster Bursary
  • The recipients must pass all modules in the academic year on the first attempt and achieve the highest overall aggregate score from all modules
  • The award will normally be given to one male and one non-male recipient

The bursary will be given in three £500 instalments over the course of the academic year. You do not need to apply for the scholarship - the selection process is internal.
