How to Apply

When is the competition for Kennedy Scholarships held?
Applications are invited during late summer and early autumn.  Applications for awards for 2014-15 will open on 19th August 2013 and the closing date will be  23rd October 2013.   Referees will have until Wednesday 30th October to upload their references.
Who is eligible to apply?
Those applying for awards must be all of the following:
  • British citizens at the time of application;
  • ordinarily resident in the UK;
  • wholly or mainly educated in the UK.
Applications cannot be accepted from those already in the United States.
Marriage is not a bar to the award of a Scholarship, but there is no financing for a spouse.
How do I apply for a Kennedy Scholarship?
In addition to completing an online form, applicants will be asked to submit an essay (which MUST NOT exceed 1,000 words) giving an account of their academic pursuits, general activities and intellectual interests, plus reasons for wishing to study in the United States, choice of course and institution and plans for the future.
You can start an online application by clicking the Apply Online box in the top right of this page and selecting Kennedy Scholarship.
When might I be notified?
Applicants will be notified by email, either at the end of November or just before the Christmas holiday period.
