Deadline: August 31st, 2020
King’s College London are pleased to offer three new Kenshole Family Scholarships worth £5,000 each for new entrants in 2020-21.
What is the Kenshole Family Scholarship?
In celebration of the 50th anniversary of her graduation and in recognition of the Kenshole family’s century-long connection with Guy’s, Dr Anne Kenshole has established the Kenshole Family Scholarships, prestigious and generous scholarships that will be awarded to 3 medical students in either their first year of the MBBS 5yr programme or the second year of their EMDP 6yr programme at King’s.
Each scholar will receive £1,000 per year for the 5 years of their course. This award will assist with the cost of studies by paying for medical equipment, books and the expenses associated with living in central London. The award will be made on the basis of academic promise and financial need.

- First year on the MBBS 5 year programme or 2nd year on the Extended Medical Degree Programme in 2020-21;
