Arts Aid launches 2023 Awards programme

Tue, 28 Feb 2023

Arts Aid is inviting applications for its 2023 scholarships for study in the Arts.

Offering financial assistance to Isle of Man students, the Manx charity is entering its sixth year of awards via a programme which offers scholarships for exceptionally talented young people to attend courses at some of Britain’s most esteemed arts institutions.

Funding is available for courses ranging from BTEC to master’s degree. Typically, Arts Aid scholarships are tenable for a one-year period. Recipients pursuing multi-year courses may apply to renew their scholarship based on their performance.

Applicants for awards in 2023 are encouraged to submit their application as early as possible and no later than 29 May. By the time of their submission, applicants should have already applied for a course at a suitable educational institution, although when first applying to Arts Aid it is not necessary to have a confirmed place. Application packs may be requested via the Arts Aid website:  arts-aid.org

David Wertheim, Chairman, said: “We hope that in 2023 we can put the recent several years of disruption due to the coronavirus pandemic behind us. Throughout this time our students have shown remarkable resilience and commitment, despite often facing difficult challenges. We are looking forward once again this spring to receiving a new round of applications from talented candidates aspiring to a future in the Arts. If you believe you fit these criteria, we strongly encourage you to apply.
