KENNETH KIRKWOOD MEMORIAL FUND

A new fund has been established to commemorate the contribution
of Professor Kenneth Kirkwood to African education and St
Antony's College. Professor Kirkwood was Rhodes Professor of Race
Relations at the University from 1955 to 1986 and co-ordinator
of African Studies at St Antony's College. The fund is managed
by the African Educational Trust.

Applications are invited from postgraduate students in the
Humanities, Social Sciences, and Geography registered at UK
universities from Southern Africa (including South Africa,
Namibia, Lesotho, Botswana, Swaziland, Zimbabwe, Zambia,
Mozambique, and Malawi). Preference will be given to students
registered at St Antony's College. The fund is initially to be
devoted to cases of hardship or unexpected financial difficulties
for students who are completing postgraduate degrees.

St Antony's students should apply to Polly Friedhoff, Development
Office, St Antony's College. Others should apply to the Director,
Africa Educational Trust, 38 King Street, London WC2E 8JS.
Applications should include a short statement about research and
progress, a reference from a supervisor, and an explanation of
the need for funding. Initial grants are likely to be in the
region of £500. The first closing date is 30 May 2001 for
awards to be held in the academic year 2001–2. Enquiries
about later applications should be made to the Africa Educational
Trust.

Should sufficient money be raised, this fund will be devoted to
larger scholarships and any suggestions concerning fund-raising
would be welcomed.
