Banbridge Academy is proud to announce that Year 13 student Adam Zembrzuski has been awarded a fully funded Arkwright Engineering Scholarship — a prestigious national award that recognises outstanding potential in engineering and technical leadership.

Adam’s achievement is particularly noteworthy given the competitive nature of the scholarship, which has become even more selective in recent years due to a reduction in sponsor numbers following the COVID-19 pandemic. The scholarship is awarded to students who demonstrate exceptional aptitude, creativity, and commitment to engineering through a rigorous application and interview process.

His award is a testament to his talent and the quality of teaching and support provided by the Technology Department at Banbridge Academy.

The Arkwright Scholarship offers a range of benefits, including:

-Financial support throughout A Level studies

-Mentoring from industry professionals

-Opportunities to attend engineering events, university experience days, and networking activities

-Enhanced university and career prospects in STEM fields

This achievement not only highlights Adam’s individual excellence but also reflects the school’s commitment to nurturing future leaders in science and engineering.

Congratulations to Adam, the Technology Department, and Banbridge Academy on this outstanding accomplishment.
