£8.5m Scholarship Fund

At Kent we value our postgraduate students and the contribution they make to the University and the wider intellectual community.

We allocate over £6.5 million from our own funds and attract an additional £2 million to provide a variety of financial support opportunities for postgraduate students. These range from a generous number of research student scholarships, through to location specific-funding, sport and music scholarships, and funding specifically for overseas fee-paying students. We also have a Graduate Teaching Assistantship Scheme whereby postgraduate research students receive financial support in return for teaching.

In addition 2013 Kent graduates can apply for the Graduate School Scholarship and all Kent alumni can apply for a Loyalty Discount.

The Graduate School Scholarship will be offered in the 2013 academic year to 2013 Kent graduates who earn a Bachelor's degree with honours (or undergraduate Master’s degree) and register for a self-funded postgraduate degree at Kent by 1 October 2013.

Deadlines for scholarships vary but all applicants are encouraged to apply as soon as possible to be considered for awards.
