South Tyneside students invited to apply for Dogger Bank scholarship - here's how
Students from South Tyneside, Redcar and Cleveland, and East Riding of Yorkshire are invited to apply for the 2026 round of the Dogger Bank Wind Farm Scholarship Programme.
A slice of a £26m education funding pot with a looming application deadline date is open to students in South Tyneside – but they had better get blowing.
Thirty youngsters will be awarded £5,000 grants from the Dogger Bank Wind Farm Scholarship Programme's financial resource to help boost their learning opportunities.
But they must have their applications in by Sunday, July 5, to be in with a chance of hitting the jackpot.
The fund targets young people studying science, technology, engineering, and maths (STEM) subject degrees, to help them with the rising costs of further education.
As well as South Tyneside, money is available to students in Redcar and Cleveland and the East Riding of Yorkshire.
Together, they are the three geographical areas closest to the giant Dogger Bank Wind Farm, currently being built in three stages around 90 miles out in the North Sea.
To date, 123 students – studying subjects including physics, medicine, surveying and aerospace engineering - have benefited from previous scholarship support.
