The University of Kent, in preparation for its 50th anniversary in 2015, has

The recipients of the new scholarships will be known as Kent's 50th

community. Kent's scholarship fund now exceeds £5.5m and is supplemented by
funding from the leading UK research councils and external bodies bringing the
total funds it has to support postgraduate research to over £8m.

environment, as well as its collaborative research with universities around

Its specialist Graduate School works to enhance the quality of the
postgraduate student experience and ensures a supportive and vibrant
postgraduate community across all its campuses.

Professor Diane Houston, Dean of the Graduate
School<http://www.kent.ac.uk/graduate-school>, said: ‘The Graduate School is
leading the growth of doctoral training and research at the University of
Kent. In the last five years the number of doctorates awarded has increased by
25 percent. These new fully funded scholarships are a key investment that Kent
is making in its own future and that of research in the UK.'
