Objective of the programme

The Scholarship Programme was created in response to a specific proposal in the first report of the Hamilton Commission, titled Accelerated Change: Enhancing the Representation of Black People in UK Motorsport. Sir Lewis Hamilton HonFREng and the Royal Academy of Engineering established The Hamilton Commission to address the underrepresentation of Black individuals in UK motorsport and STEM fields.

Our programme offers financial and professional assistance to Black and Black-mixed students pursuing a master’s degree in motorsport or a related field. Up to ten awards will be presented over the course of two years.
