This scholarship is named after Professor Frank Wallace, a pioneer in diesel engine turbocharging research, and awarded on behalf of his family.
Professor Frank Wallace was born in Munich but left Germany in 1939 at the age of 15, and was educated at Monkton Combe School on the edge of Bath. He won a scholarship to the University of Birmingham, where he was both an undergraduate and postgraduate student.
In 1959, Professor Frank Wallace was appointed to the chair of mechanical engineering at Queen's University in Belfast. In 1965, he moved back to England, having been appointed a professor at what was then the Bristol College of Science and Technology.
This establishment soon became the University of Bath, with a new campus at Claverton Down, where he was chair of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Bath until his retirement in 1989. He was one of a group of pioneering researchers who were instrumental in opening up the USA to British engineers.
The University of Bath is a public university located in Bath, Somerset, United Kingdom. It received its Royal Charter in 1966 and can trace its roots to a technical school established in Bristol in 1856.
The successful applicants of the University of Bath - The Frank Wallace Scholarships in the UK, 2024 will receive partial funding worth £2,500.
