Congratulations to Elliot on Securing Prestigious Cunard Sponsorship
Beating thousands of applicants, Elliot secures one of five coveted places on Cunard’s sponsorship scheme to train as a future ship officer.
Huge congratulations to Elliot, Upper Sixth student, who has been awarded one of only five highly sought-after sponsorship places with Cunard after completing his A levels at Wrekin. Beating thousands of applicants through a rigorous two-year process, Elliot’s dedication and hard work, supported by both Wrekin staff and his family, have earned him this incredible opportunity.
Following his studies at Wrekin, Elliot will pursue a degree in Nautical Science, spending six months each year studying at either Warsash Maritime College (part of Solent University) or Fleetwood Maritime College, and the other six months aboard one of Cunard’s famous cruise ships. His time at sea could take him anywhere in the world, gaining hands-on experience in navigation, health and safety, guest hosting, and more.
Upon completing his degree, Elliot will qualify as a 3rd Deck Officer, joining the bridge team responsible for navigating the ship and managing operations. With a clear pathway to progress through the ranks and potentially become a Captain, this sponsorship covers all tuition fees, accommodation, travel, and includes a salary throughout his studies.
Well done, Elliot — this is an outstanding achievement and we are all incredibly proud of you!
