Six students from the University of Bradford's School of Engineering, Design and Technology have been awarded the prestigious Benjamin Jowett Memorial Scholarship.

Six students from the University of Bradford's School of Engineering, Design and Technology have been awarded the prestigious Benjamin Jowett Memorial Scholarship.

The six students, who each receive GBP 1000 are, in no particular order: Gabriel Akinola, from Dagenham in Essex, studying automotive design technology (ADT); Paul Palmer, from Caversham in Reading, studying ADT; George Solimon, from Egypt, studying mechanical engineering; Romit Francis, from New Delhi in India, studying mechanical engineering; Simon Penrose, from Selby in North Yorkshire, studying mechanical engineering; and Abdulla Al Shehhi, from Northampton, studying mechanical engineering.

The late Benjamin Jowett cofounded the Jowett Car Company in Bradford in 1901 - Bradford's only major car manufacturer.

His daughter Marjorie Illingworth set up the scholarship scheme to perpetuate the memory of her father and to acknowledge the contribution the Jowett family made to both the industrial history of Bradford and to the automobile industry.

The Jowett Scholarships support students on mechanical and automotive engineering and automotive design technology degree courses with up to seven scholarships awarded each year to students for academic excellence on admission to the first year of their undergraduate studies.

Dean of the School of Engineering, Design and Technology at the University of Bradford, Professor Andrew Day, said: "I am delighted to announce this year's batch of Jowett Scholarships for some of our brightest stars in engineering".

"We are very grateful to the Jowett family for their continued support to the education of engineering which enables us to recognise the achievements of our degree students".
