Learn more about the winners of the 2007 Ambition Awards:

The purpose of the IET’s Ambition Awards programme is both to celebrate the achievements of talented young engineering and technology professionals and students, and to offer them financial and practical support throughout their studies.

Undergraduate Scholarships

The IET’s undergraduate scholarships range in value from £1,000 to £3,000 per annum for the duration of an IET accredited degree course and are available both to students who are in the process of a university application and to those who have already started studying.
