Here is what some of our current and previous Millman Scholars have to say about how they have benefited from the scheme:

The Millman Scholarship has greatly benefitted me, not only financially throughout term time, but also with the summer job. It’s given me a vast amount of opportunities to develop my professional skills, as well as networking with experienced and likeminded people in industry. This makes it a fantastic opportunity for anybody early in their career.

Ben Napier

I was inspired to apply having spent a week’s work experience at the Institute some two years ago. During that time, I shadowed the Advanced Materials Group, learning about sampling and analysis, as well as the Digital Technologies Group and its work with augmented and virtual reality. I’m extremely grateful to have this amazing opportunity that will both enrich my learning experience and help me decide on my chosen career.

Aimee Hughes

It’s a huge opportunity to gain practical experience whilst being involved in cutting edge research. I’ve really enjoyed being part of the team while the Institute is supportive and flexible. I’m interested in decarbonisation and sustainability and working here has allowed me to gain a much greater insight and understanding. It’s been really valuable to see practical applications of things we are learning about in textbooks or lectures.

Lauren Skidmore

The Millman Scholarship has provided me with a bursary and a wage to support me during my degree. It has allowed me to meet a range of technical experts in the field and learn something new and exciting. I’ve been involved in cutting edge research and it’s a fantastic experience and I would certainly recommend it to anyone studying a science-related or engineering degree.

Billy Quartermain

I’ve received a great deal of practical and academic support and have been fortunate enough to be involved in a number of interesting projects, from metallurgy to chemical studies. I think that there’s a lot of financial benefit to it and the networking you get is phenomenal.

Rob Hillier

I’m enthusiastic about engineering, and the Institute has focused my interest on project management in the fields of industrial decarbonisation and the circular economy. The Millman Scholarship has not only helped me financially but has been pivotal in helping shape the direction of my career.
