F William Stephenson Excellence Scholarship
Provided by: Professor Bill Stephenson BSc (Dunelm), PhD (Newcastle), DSc (Newcastle).
US-based graduate F William 'Bill' Stephenson has donated to Electrical and Electronic Engineering. This allows the School of Engineering to offer a scholarship of £3,000 every year. The top student entering the University to begin their Stage 1 studies will receive this scholarship.
A native of North Tyneside, Bill obtained his undergraduate from King's College, University of Durham in 1961, and his PhD and DSc from Newcastle University. He was active in student government, serving as the last President of King's College Student Representative Council in 1963. This was the same year that Newcastle University was founded.

Bill comments on his upbringing, 'I was an only child from a very supportive, but relatively poor family living in a home with gas lighting and outdoor facilities.
It is strange that I should study Electrical Engineering without ever having encountered its benefits in everyday domestic life.'
Bill takes a keen interest in Newcastle matters, especially relating to his beloved Newcastle United. 'Unfortunately, following Newcastle United often leads to very stressful Saturdays,' he says.
'King's College and Newcastle University transformed my life and gave me opportunities I never dreamed possible. The University has had a very special place in my heart for over 50 years. Without scholarships, I could not have afforded a university education without extreme financial sacrifice. By creating this scholarship, I hope to help foster excellence by contributing in some small way to the future success of a talented individual.'
