The Department is delighted to announce the Peter Philipps Scholarship, which will be available to a postgraduate student in Engineering Science.
The scholarship is funded by a generous contribution from Airdri, a family owned engineering business based in Oxford. The Airdri Group was founded in 1974 by British engineer and entrepreneur Peter Philipps, and today focuses on the development of sector-leading hand dryers and air sanitising technology to improve hygiene, safety and public health.
Bruce Philipps, President and Group CEO, the Airdri Group, says, "It is a very special honour for the Board and team at the Airdri Group to see the first Peter Philipps Scholarship for a postgraduate scholar in the Department of Engineering Science. The social impact foundation in Peter Philipps' name was established by the Airdri Group - the international business he founded over 50 years ago. As an entrepreneur and engineer, and Oxford-based businessman, Peter was a trailblazer. Everyone at the Airdri Group and the Peter Philipps Foundation looks forward to supporting the chosen student".
The Peter Philipps Foundation was established by the Airdri Group in memory of its founder, engineer and entrepreneur Peter Philipps. The social impact foundation focuses on projects in education and sustainability.
