About This Opportunity

The Widening Participation Ambition Scholarship is designed to support eligible Kent graduates to continue to Master's study at the University of Kent. This scholarship is specifically for final year undergraduate students who have received the Kent Financial Support Package during their final year of study and are progressing directly from undergraduate to postgraduate study at Kent. The scholarship consists of £5,000 towards the cost of tuition fees for fulltime UK students, with a total of 12 awards available for entry in September 2026. Part-time UK students receive £2,500 per year. The scholarship aims to support widening participation by enabling students from underrepresented backgrounds to pursue postgraduate education. Eligible candidates must begin their postgraduate study in September 2026 and must have received an unconditional offer by the deadline of 16 July 2026.
