UKESF Scholarships

The UKESF Scholarships are a cohort-style scholarship programme run by the UK Electronics Skills Foundation for students studying electronic engineering or closely related disciplines. The programme provides annual financial support throughout university, access to paid industry placements, mentoring from sector experts and connections with employer partners. It is delivered via partnerships between the foundation, UK universities and sponsoring companies. Applications follow an annual cycle and successful candidates enter sponsorship arrangements with industry partners.

Annual financial support; opportunities for paid internships with sponsoring companies; access to mentors and industry experts; introductions to recruiters and employers.

Applicants must be enrolled at a UKESF partner university and be studying electronic engineering or a related discipline; applicants should be British or citizens of the European Union and demonstrate academic excellence and a strong interest in the electronics industry.

Consult the list of partner universities and sponsors on the official sites, submit an application via the UKESF or partner university portal, participate in selection interviews with partner companies, and finalise sponsorship agreements if selected.
