Sotheby's Institute of Art offers a range of scholarships and financial aid/bursaries across all of its Postgraduate Master's programmes. Financial Aid applications are being accepted up to 30 June, 2008 for entry onto all postgraduate programmes this September, 2008. (Please note the Scholarship applications deadline has now passed). Scholarship applicants can receive up to a maximum of 50% of the tuition fees for all London Master's Degree programmes if you are awarded a scholarship based on academic merit. Please note the scholarship deadline and terms and conditions below. Financial aid/bursary applicants can receive up to a maximum of 25% of the tuition fees for all London postgraduate programmes (MA degrees and Postgraduate Diplomas) if you apply for financial aid by 30 June. (Please note Financial aid/bursary awards are not based on academic merit but awarded on the basis of financial need.) Click here to download the financial aid/bursary application form. Applicants for Financial Aid will need to complete this form. You may apply for either financial aid or scholarship or both. Financial aid applications are reviewed on a rolling basis throughout the year. If you are applying for a scholarship you will need to enclose with your scholarship/financial aid application form a completed essay chosen from the list below. Please note that Sotheby's Institute of Art receives a very high volume of applications each year and is therefore regrettably unable to provide detailed feedback to unsuccessful applicants. For further information on scholarships, financial aid and bursaries, and for entry onto programmes in London please contact Venetia Hill-Perkins.
