About the Michael Bates Outreach Scholarship
The Michael Bates Outreach Scholarship has been generously funded by a gift from the Bowyer-Bates family in memory of their son, Michael Bates (BSc Clothing Engineering, 1991). As a student at Manchester, Michael thrived and graduated at the top of his class. He was creative, entrepreneurial and industrious and, following his studies, went on to have a successful career in textiles. He secured his first role at a clothing production factory in South Wales, before moving on to roles in clothing sourcing that led him to work in Hong Kong, China and New Delhi. Later in his career, he returned to the UK and set up his own business for sourcing and designing clothing, before moving into Property Development and Management.
Michael sadly passed away in 2019. Michael’s family wanted to help outstanding students undertaking fashion and textile related courses to thrive at Manchester, just as Michael did, and set up this scholarship in his memory. This scholarship is for students who are studying an undergraduate course in the Department of Materials, and meet our widening participation criteria.
