The BAME in Higher Education Ambition Scholarship for 2023 University of Kent graduates

Available to current Kent undergraduates with a 2.1 or first class degree continuing to Master’s study at any of Kent’s locations (UK fee paying students)

£5,000 towards the cost of tuition fees for full-time UK students who identify as Black, Asian or Minority Ethnic (BAME). Kent understands, at times, that ‘BAME’ does not fully reflect the complexity or nuances of diversity within the UK. Here, we use ‘BAME’ to highlight racial identities critically underrepresented within Higher Education—a focus this scholarship is intended to address.

Scholarship for conversion MSc in Computer Science (Artificial Intelligence)

Available for under-represented students (e.g. female, black, disabled, low socio-economic background) with an undergraduate degree not from core-STEM subjects.

Funded by the Office for Students (OfS), this £10,000 scholarship aims to increase the supply of digitally skilled workers by converting graduates who did not study a STEM undergraduate degree.
