Optical design students will benefit from scholarship

17 Jun 2002

The winner of the first Kidger Memorial Scholarship will be announced in July 2000. Applications are now being sought for the USD 4000 international scholarship, which will be awarded to a student of optical design.

This scholarship was set up and funded, by international colleagues and friends of Michael Kidger, following his death in 1998. Kidger lectured in lens design at Imperial College, London before forming his own company, Kidger Optics, where he continued to develop optical design software and give lectures on lens design.
