Xiaofan Zhang received the Arkwright Undergraduate Scholarship worth £12,000. The Scholarship will support Xiaofan throughout his Engineering studies at Selwyn College, Cambridge. Xiaofan is one of only three students nationally to be awarded an Undergraduate Scholarship, for which he went through a gruelling interview beating over 70 other students in the process.
