We’re delighted to see that the University of Kent’s Music Scholarships were mentioned in an article in the Sunday Times recently – ‘Top tips for funding university.’<\/a><\/p>\n

Only three UK universities were mentioned in connection with offering scholarships, and Kent was the only one directly connected with music.<\/p>\n

The article assesses the potential costs to future students given the rise in tuition fees, and offers guidance on how to lessen the financial burden of studying at university.<\/p>\n

With the capping of tuition fees looking set to disappear following Lord Browne’s proposal, allowing universities to charge as much as they might wish for their courses, students are facing increasing debt in order to obtain a degree. The article looks at the implications for three-year courses of study, and avenues of potential financial support that can be accessed to help. Kent’s music scholarships are one such means of lessening the impact of continuing into higher education.<\/p>\n

Not to mention having a fantastic musical experience whilst doing so.<\/p>\n
