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
Music Scholarships are awarded to around 35 students 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.

Once you have had a conditional/unconditional offer for a place at the University, you should download the attached form to apply and, once completed, email it to the Director of Music
|
- New students should apply once you have received an offer from the University of Kent.
|
- Returning students should, if possible, apply for a Music Lesson Scholarship before the start of the academic year.
|
There is no deadline prior to the start of the academic year, but early application for both scholarships is advisable. Applications will only be considered up to the end of Week 1, except in exceptional circumstances. It is vital that students who have submitted an application arrange an interview with the Director of Music as soon as they arrive at the University – these will be held in a number of office hours which will be posted on the Music Website.
Interviews and auditions for both scholarships will be held during the first three weeks of the autumn term. |
