BURSARIES &
SCHOLARSHIPS
Many students come to us with the determination and talent to make it as practising artists, but lacking the financial means to fulfil their potential, and in the current climate, we believe that students need as much help as possible to enable them to study Fine Art. At the Academy, we are passionate about finding ways to make this happen so we provide a number of bursaries every year to our long course students.
Bursaries and your financial needs should be discussed at interview. Recipients of bursaries will be chosen during their interview and notified after the interview process.
If your financial situation changes during study, you should inform our Course Coordinator as soon as possible so a review can take place and we can do our best to help you.
The BA and FD Bursary
We’re delighted to announce that the Art Academy has secured funding to create bursaries for all first year students joining our BA Fine Art* and our Foundation Degree* in Contemporary Portraiture, Sculpture or Fine Art in September 2018. The 20% bursary will reduce our fees to £6,600, down from £8,250 – significantly below national levels for degree courses.
First year students joining our courses in September 2018 will receive the 20% bursary for the duration of their programme. Furthermore, additional bursaries will be available to a small number of students to reduce fees even more. Recipients of additional bursaries will be selected during their interview on the basis of need and merit and informed following the conclusion of the interview process.
