About the Scholarship:
The University of Birmingham was established in the year 1900 and given its initial legal footing by the granting of a Royal Charter. The charter officially came into existence due to Queen Victoria’s signature on it. Not only is it one of the most well-known institutions in the United Kingdom, but it is also the birthplace of a large number of significant scientific advancements, such as the development of gaseous diffusion and the cavity magnetron. Other important scientific breakthroughs also originated at this institution. The institution has established a new program that will carry its name and will focus on major subfields of the scientific community, such as gravitational force and energy-efficient cooling, amongst others. Birmingham Heroes is the name of this particular program.
