Foundation Programme Progression Scholarship

This scholarship is available for current Foundation Students studying within the International Programmes department only

International Programmes has developed a range of scholarships to support our foundation students when progressing onto undergraduate study. These awards are part of Kent’s efforts to support excellence in academia and to reward student’s efforts in transitioning onto a degree via a foundation year. They are designed to help students to focus on their progression in the knowledge that excellent attendance and engagement throughout the Foundation Year/IFP will be rewarded alongside academic achievement.

These scholarships provide a £3,750 cash payment (via bank transfer), payable in three lump sums across the 2023-24 academic year. A total of 8 awards will be available under this scheme for entry in September 2023.
