Notes for Editor:
The Kennedy Memorial Trust was established in 1966 to administer monies raised in the United Kingdom as a tribute to the late President John Kennedy. Part of the fund was used to create and maintain the Kennedy Memorial site at Runnymede. The remaining capital is used to provide Kennedy Scholarships which enable British post-graduate students to study at Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
