The Peter Kennedy Memorial Fellowship

The Kyiv School of Economics (KSE) has established the Peter Kennedy Memorial Fellowship. This fellowship will be used to fund meritorious and deserving students at the Kyiv School of Economics.

Peter Kennedy passed away suddenly in August of 2010. He served on the school’s International Advisory Board since 2003. Peter was dedicated to the Kyiv School of Economics and tirelessly supported its development into the internationally recognized institution it is today. Peter and his wife, Nancy, were preparing to attend the annual board meeting at the time of his untimely death.

The Kyiv School of Economics could think of no better way to honor Peter Kennedy than a fellowship program for students. He especially enjoyed the interaction with the high-quality young students from Ukraine and neighboring countries who were willing to take on the challenging curriculum and went on to successful academic, private and government careers.

Peter Kennedy was Professor Emeritus at Simon Frasier University. He made fundamental contributions to his field of econometrics, publishing in the top journals. His Guide to Econometrics has been used by generations of economists and is now in its sixth edition. Peter also had broad interests in economics and economic education. He will be missed by friends, family, colleagues and by all those who worked with him at the Kyiv School of Economics.
