Rugby Scholarships
The Maxine Hallworth GKT Rugby Scholarship
The Maxine Hallworth GKT Rugby Scholarship is named in remembrance of the daughter of the current president of the GKT Rugby Club. It is sufficiently endowed to provide a single £1000 scholarship to a promising rugby player entering the medical and dental school. Applicants should contact Elaine.Martyn@kcl.ac.uk for further information.
The rugby club is an amalgamation of the original three medical school clubs, Guy's, King's and St Thomas'. Both Guy's and St Thomas' have illustrious pasts with many international honours. Guy's and thus GKT RFC is the oldest club in the world and fields four regular sides on a Saturday and two on a Wednesday.
The Scholarship has been provided through the generosity of the president and many club supporters. There is a need for further contributions so that the award can be consolidated and eventually extended. These should be made out to King's College London and sent to Dr T. Gibson, Department of Rheumatology, Guy's Hospital, London SE1 9RT.
