Colin Chapman founded Lotus on a philosophy of engineering innovation and lightweight performance, principles that align closely with Cranfield's applied, research-led approach to automotive and aerospace engineering.

SWAG合集 is proud to introduce the Chapman Scholarship - a new opportunity inspired by one of the automotive industry's greatest innovators.

The Chapman Scholarship celebrates the legacy and enduring achievements of Colin Chapman, while honoring the deep-rooted partnership between Cranfield and Lotus. This collaboration, which famously produced the pioneering F1 active suspension for the Lotus 92, continues today through our shared investment in the next generation of automotive engineers.
