Fair introduces students to employers offering placements and scholarships

Yesterday saw a range of employers visit campus to showcase no less than 46 amazing placement opportunities - all coupled with a generous scholarship. 

Doris Taylor, Director of Development and Alumni Relations, said:  It was great to see so many employers joining our Scholarship Fair at Harper Adams University today. 

"The room was buzzing and Niven Maree (Development & Alumni Relations Manager) and I enjoyed catching up with so many alumni who are now offering scholarships through their organisations.

We've had a record student attendance and have already received the first applications!"

The Development Trust at Harper Adams University works with industry partners, charitable trusts, alumni and other benefactors to offer exclusive scholarships to students. Last year, awards worth a total of £654,000 were presented. 

Placement scholarships provide a year of paid work experience for the student, coupled with scholarship funding for some or all of their years studying at the university.
