Postgraduate Scholarships and Loans

Graduate School Scholarships

The University of Kent values its graduates and alumni and is pleased to offer two special schemes to assist with the cost of postgraduate study.

Students should decide which of the schemes below is more valuable to them but can then hold either the Graduate School Scholarship or the Loyalty Discount in conjunction with other awards, except where these awards offer full tuition fees and a UK Research Council equivalent maintenance grant.

For the purpose of these funding schemes the terms graduate and alumni are used to define former students who hold a University of Kent Bachelor´s, Master´s or Doctoral degree certificate.

Graduate School Scholarships

The Graduate School Scholarship Scheme was established in 2009 to celebrate the founding of the University's Graduate School. This successful scholarship has been renewed annually since then.
