University of Kent in America (UKA) Scholarship

Overview

The UKA Alumni Association has chapters across the United States and is engaged in building a life-long, beneficial relationship between the University and its alumni. The UKA Scholarship is funded entirely by alumni living in the United States who studied at Kent.

Irrespective of the focus of their study, many described their time at Kent as life-transforming, personally and professionally. As a consequence, this scholarship is intended to give future generations of US students the same opportunities that they experienced.

The successful applicant will be registered for a full-time postgraduate taught Master's degree. The scholarship of up to $15,000 will be offered for one year.

Applicants must:
  • have a minimum of 3.5 - 3.8 GPA
  • provide good academic references
  • have been offered and accepted a place at Kent on a full-time postgraduate taught Master's degree for 2012-13
  • be a US citizen and have been domiciled in the US for at least the preceding 5 years
  • have never previously had the opportunity to live or study for a full degree in the UK (JYA students are eligible)
  • register within 4 weeks of the start of the academic year in order to receive this award
The successful applicant will be registered for a full-time taught Master's degree; the scholarship will be offered for one year.
