The Kent UKAT Ambition Scholarship extends our support to students who completed their studies at one of the University of Kent's sponsored academies: Brompton Academy or Chatham Grammar. The scholarship is worth £2,000 for each year of study and will be renewed on an annual basis, subject to satisfactory progress. If you are required to repeat a year, the scholarship will be paused until you continue to the next stage of study. The Scholarship payment will not be paid whilst undertaking a year abroad/year in industry.
You are more likely to be awarded the scholarship if:
You live in an area of socio-economic depravation – IMD Q1 or Q2
You live in a low-participation neighbourhood – TUNDRA Q1 or Q2
You are a Care Leaver under 25

You are from the Gypsy, Roma, Traveller, Showman or Boater community
