FIA opens second year of engineering scholarship applications
The Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) has opened applications for its next Motorsport Engineering Scholarship at Cranfield University, UK.
Cranfield is a postgraduate university that has undertaken research, consultancy and testing for the motorsport sector since the 1970s. It is also home to the FIA-approved Cranfield Impact Centre and AXSIM Racing.
Entering its second year, the scholarship program supports one aspiring engineer to obtain a master’s in Advanced Motorsport Engineering, receiving fully funded tuition and living expenses.
The scholarship is designed to promote inclusion in sport and welcomes applications from students of all backgrounds. The application process closes on April 1, 2024.
In 2022, Jesica Salvini received the first FIA scholarship and now works as a race engineer at Abdala Racing alongside her studies. She said, “Studying alongside established motorsport professionals has helped me build connections, learn more about the business side of motorsport, and apply my academic learnings to the real world.”
Professor of automotive engineering at Cranfield, James Brighton, added, “We are delighted to be opening the FIA scholarship for a second year. Through our close links to industry, teaching excellence and the passion of the successful student, we will build the skills and network they need to excel in motorsport.”
