Formula 1 has extended its engineering scholarship programme at Oxford for underrepresented students for another three years.

Formula 1 has extended its scholarship programme at the University of Oxford for another three years. The programme, established in 2021, provides financial support throughout undergraduate degrees while offering opportunities to gain experience in the motorsport industry. Oxford is one of five universities involved in the scheme, which has supported 48 students so far, including ten studying Engineering Science at Oxford.

Two scholarships are offered at Oxford each year, covering tuition fees as well as providing a grant towards living costs for the full four years of the MEng Engineering Science course. The scholarships are open to Black and Minority Ethnic UK offer-holders from low-income households, with a particular focus on Black, Pakistani and Bangladeshi students. Applications from female offer-holders are especially encouraged.

Successful scholars gain work experience opportunities within Formula 1. This includes a placement with one of Formula 1's ten teams during their second year at Oxford. Scholars can also visit the Formula 1 Media and Technology Centre and attend Grand Prix events behind the scenes. The programme is part of Formula 1's wider efforts to increase opportunities for young people from underrepresented groups in motorsport.
