Music Scholarships
Patron: Dame Anne Evans
The University of Kent recognises the role that music and culture plays in the development of the individual and the benefits cultural activities bring to the wider University community.
Both Music Scholarships are intended to recognise and encourage excellence, and are awarded to around 15 new applicants each year. In return, the University expects the recipient to make a major contribution to the musical life of the campus. Scholarships will normally be allocated only to those whose musical interests and talents can be supported within the University community.
