Notes to editors
The Kennedy Memorial Trust was established in 1966 to administer money raised in the United Kingdom in tribute to the late President John Kennedy. Part of the fund is used to create and maintain the Kennedy Memorial site at Runnymede, Surrey.
The remaining money is used to provide Kennedy Scholarships which enable British postgraduate students to study at Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
Trustees are responsible for the selection process for those scholarships and for managing the maintenance of the Kennedy Memorial in Runnymede.
Professor Whittle is currently the Head of MIT’s Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Dr Englander is Chief Executive of the Apax Foundation.
