The Scholarship

KWS may award one scholarship, and if awarded the successful scholarship recipient will receive:

• A payment of £2,500 in the academic year awarded.
• Employment with KWS UK during their placement year.
• Subject to a review at the end of the placement with KWS UK, there may be an opportunity of further funding in the scholar’s final academic year.

A condition of your scholarship is that you undertake your placement year with the sponsoring firm.

The award will be paid in two equal parts; half to be paid in February 2025 and the remaining balance in May 2025.

This is a competitive award which will be evaluated on the merit of the submitted application, academic achievements to date and interview.

The decision of the KWS UK Scholarship Panel is FINAL.
