Investing in the future of our communities
Dogger Bank Wind Farm is supporting the next generation of energy professionals through its annual scholarship programme for students from host communities studying STEM‑related degrees.
The scholarship scheme provides financial support alongside practical insights into the offshore wind industry, helping students focus on their studies while building pathways into future careers.
Beverley Parkey, a recent scholarship recipient, describes the impact the programme has had on her studies in Environmental Science.
“Receiving the scholarship during the 2024–2025 academic year relieved the financial pressures of being a mature student with caring responsibilities, allowing me to fully concentrate on my degree,” Beverley said. “Alongside the financial assistance, I was invited to visit the operations and maintenance base, gaining valuable insight into the industry and the different career pathways available.”
Since receiving the scholarship, Beverley has also worked with Equinor on a consultancy project as part of her final‑year studies, gaining vital workplace experience.
“I now have increased confidence in my ability and I am overwhelmingly grateful for the continued support.”
