Kennedy Scholarships at Harvard and MIT

Kennedy Scholarships are open to British citizens, normally resident in the UK and wholly or mainly educated in the UK, who are or will be graduates of a UK university by the start date of the award. Applicants must have begun their undergraduate studies no earlier than 1st September 2011. Kennedy Scholarships are awarded across the range of academic disciplines and support master's and doctoral programmes or non-degree study as a Special Student or Visiting Fellow. Kennedy Scholarships provide funding but DO NOT carry automatic admission to Harvard or MIT. Scholarship applicants must APPLY SEPARATELY for admission to their preferred course(s) meeting all requirements and deadlines. In awarding Scholarships, the Trustees will take into account candidates' intellectual attainment, ability to express themselves, and a well-researched and argued case for their proposed course of study at Harvard or MIT at this point in their careers. They also look for: originality of mind; commitment to public service; potential to make a mark in public life; and ability to overcome adversity.
