We are delighted to introduce The Hawthorn Scholarship, a prestigious award specifically aimed at a student studying for a full-time undergraduate degree in the Business School at Canterbury Christ Church University.
The Hawthorn Scholarship has been established thanks to the generosity of Iain Hawthorn, an alumnus of the Business School who saw his career transformed as a result of studying at Canterbury Christ Church University.
The Hawthorn Scholarship will be awarded in September 2024 to an undergraduate student who has shown exceptional commitment and potential in their first year of study, awarding them £5,000 a year during their second and third years, with the aim of supporting them into a future leadership role in Kent. Recipients will also have access to a dedicated mentor to support them throughout their studies and springboard them into a career in Kent.
Do you see yourself as a future leader in the region?
Do you have an interest in contributing to wider university life or making a difference in the local community?
Applicants will need to demonstrate the impact this scholarship will make to them, as well as showing a flair for leadership or an interest in activities outside of education or within their local community.
They will need to have passed all year one modules and demonstrated a minimum attendance of 75% during their first year of study.
They will also need to demonstrate a commitment to studying for the two remaining years of their course.
Students should apply by completing an application form, including a personal statement of no more than 500 words.
Please email futures@canterbury.ac.uk for all enquiries or completed applications.
