The Isabel Schwartz Scholarship: The Tizard Centre are delighted to announce that they will once again be offering this scholarship to a student accepted on one of our Master’s programmes in intellectual disabilities, autism or applied behaviour analysis. The scholarship will pay the equivalent of Home/EU student’s fees and possibly some additional expenses. Preference will be given to candidates who have a professional qualification in social work and/or an established interest in the area of forensic issues/secure services.
To apply for this scholarship you will need to write 3 paragraphs covering the following points:
- what do you know about people with intellectual disabilities in the criminal justice system and the difficulties they face?
- your relevant experience/background, clinical or research based, with offenders with intellectual disabilities.
- why do you think you are the best candidate for this scholarship?
Please email your application to Vivi Triantafyllopoulou (p.triantafyllopoulou@kent.ac.uk) by the 26th September 2014.
Edward Newell Scholarship: This year we will also be offering a second scholarship which is open to students on one of our master’s programmes in intellectual disabilities or autism.

To apply for this scholarship you should register your interest with Rachel Forrester-Jones (r.v.e.forrester-jones@kent.ac.uk) by 26th September 2014 with your ideas for the dissertation.
