Mercedes HPP Scholarships

Mercedes AMG High Performance Powertrains (HPP) Diversity and Social Mobility Scholarships

We are proud to be partnering with Mercedes HPP (MHPP), who are offering our Mechanical, Design and Biomedical Engineering (MBDE) students a generous support scheme to expose and engage under-represented groups into motorsports and the career opportunities this can bring. 

As well as engaging with all our Aston University MBDE students through guest lectures, workshops and QnA sessions, Mercedes HPP are also providing our students social mobility funding grants, studentships and fast-track routes to interview for a placement or graduate scheme with Mercedes HPP. Mercedes HPP provided a generous £10,000 fund, which has provided the opportunities below to Aston University MBDE students: 

The Mercedes HPP fast track program meant a lot to me as it allowed me to learn very important skills and information when it comes to interviews and learning the characteristics and attitudes that employers are looking for in the engineering industry and allows me to practice and hone these skills so that I may become more successful in future.
