This donor-funded bursary is in memory of Sir Edward Penley Abraham (EPA), who studied at King Edward’s from 1924-32 and went on to become a noted biochemist. The EPA Cephalosporin Fund, a charitable trust Sir Edward established before his death, wish to support promising young scientists in Southampton who would like to study at KES, but may not have the financial means to do so.
