The Kennedy Memorial Trust was founded in 1964 to commemorate the US President John F. Kennedy who had been assassinated in 1963.
Money from the trust was used to erect a memorial at Runnymede, England, unveiled by the Queen in 1965.
Annually, since 1966, the trust has also funded twelve Kennedy Scholarships for British postgraduate students wishing to study in the USA at either Harvard or MIT.
Past Kennedy Scholars have included the poet Mark Ford, politicians Ed Balls, Alan Duncan, Nicholas Boles and David Miliband, economic historian, Emma Rothschild, the philosopher Gareth Evans and the theatre director Ravinder Casley Gera
