FBR Launches Scholarship Program to Advance Marine Engineering Education

On May 9, We (Four Brothers Rope) signed a donation agreement with the Education Development Foundation of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, officially establishing the “FBR Scholarship” at its Minhang campus.

School of Naval Architecture, Ocean and Civil Engineering

Through this initiative, we aim to support outstanding undergraduate and postgraduate students from the School of Naval Architecture, Ocean and Civil Engineering, helping nurture future talent in marine engineering, offshore technology, and advanced materials.

Investing in the Next Generation

As part of our ongoing ESG commitment, we believe that supporting education is essential to building a more sustainable and innovative industry.

With the launch of this scholarship, we seek to:

  • Encourage young talent to pursue careers in offshore and marine engineering
  • Support the integration of academic research with real-world engineering applications
  • Contribute to innovation in high-performance materials and rope technologies
  • Help develop future professionals capable of addressing complex global challenges

During the ceremony, representatives from the university expressed their appreciation and highlighted the importance of long-term collaboration between academia and industry in advancing engineering education.
