The University of Kent has launched the \u2018Tomorrow\u2019s World\u2019 scholarships\u2014a series aimed at supporting our Finalist students\u2019 continuing to postgraduate Masters study. While two of the series\u2014the \u2018Excellence Scholarship<\/a>\u2019 and the \u2018Civic Mission Scholarship<\/a>\u2019\u2014opened earlier in the month, we wish to highlight the availability of the third which opened today\u2014\u2018BAME in Higher Education Scholarship<\/a>.\u2019<\/p>\n The BAME in Higher Education Scholarship is intended for current Final Year undergraduate applicants who identify as Black, Asian or a Minoritized Ethnic person. The scholarship is aimed to supporting UK Fee paying applicants with a 2:1 or first class degree continuing to Masters study at any of Kent\u2019s location. Award of these scholarships provide \u00a33,000 towards the cost of tuition fees and a total of 18 awards will be available under the scheme.<\/p>\n We encourage all who qualify for the award to apply by Sunday 1 August 2021, 23:59 BST.<\/p>\n A recent reflection on the scholarship name:<\/p>\n The University of Kent is aware of an ongoing and growing conversation that \u2018BAME\u2019 does not fully reflect the complexity or nuances of diversity within racially marginalized communities in the UK. Here, we use \u2018BAME\u2019 to highlight racial identities critically underrepresented within Higher Education\u2014a focus this scholarship is intended to address.<\/p>\n The release of these scholarships is just one of many objectives in progress aimed to close attainment gaps disproportionally affecting minoritized communities and reaffirms our commitment to tackling racism. We thank the committee teams who swiftly met and organized a swift release of the awards and encourage everyone to continue sharing the news of this release widely across teams.<\/p>\n Other relevant links to students considering staying on at Kent for postgraduate study: #stayon#standout:<\/p>\n
