Student Scholarships

Following the overwhelming response from students to last year's inaugural year of the MEL Student Scholarship, the application process for study year 2012-2013 has now opened.

The MEL Student Scholarship is aimed to commend and award those students who constantly reflect excellence in character, and who have demonstrated their leadership skills by making a positive contribution to the local community.

MEL is providing funding towards Scholarships for students from Staffordshire and Stoke schools with sixth forms, sixth form academies and Further Education Colleges.  The Scholarships will support students as they progress from school / college at the age of 18/19 to further their educational studies through an accredited degree course or equivalent in mathematics, the sciences, technology or engineering. 

The MEL / Local Authority Panel will select the 10 successful students in September 2012 at which time MEL will contact the successful student's schools.  MEL will also write to the successful students directly and invite them and their families to an awards ceremony early January 2013 at which they will receive their cheques and awards.

Students wishing to apply should complete a Part1 Student Application Form* and submit it by email to scholarship@m6toll.co.uk by the closing date below.  All Part1 Student Application Forms must be supported by a Part2 Statement of Recommendation from the Student's Head Teacher, Principal or Head of Sixth.  Upon receipt of the student's Part1 Student Application Form, we will send out the Part2 Statement of Recommendation to the student's nominated person.

The application process opens Monday 23rd January 2012


The application process for Part 1 (Student Applications) has now closed.

The closing date for Part2 Statement of Recommendation is Friday 20th April 2012
