Arts Bursaries
Every year, The Broadway Festival Trust awards grants of between £500-£2000+ to local students starting or in full time education in the arts. This bursary applies to students studying Fine Art, Applied Arts, Music or the Performing Arts. The grants are awarded in order to help students with course expenses and foreign travel for their field of study.
Priority is given to applicants who currently reside in the parish of Broadway or have a WR12 postcode, but applications are also considered from neighbouring areas.
The festival and Charitable Trust aims to maintain and develop Broadway’s artistic heritage as an established venue for artistic excellence. The student arts grants play a pivotal role in this.
How do you qualify?
- You must be 18 or over on September 1st and about to start or in full time education in the arts on a degree or postgraduate course at a University or College
- Priority will be given to applicants who currently reside or, if already having started a course, have a family residential address in the WR12 postcode, but applications will be considered from neighbouring areas.
Applications closed at 6pm on Friday 11th October
How to apply:
Applicants should complete the new online application form and submit with all supporting documents before the application deadline 6pm on Friday 11th October 2024.
Please note: Bursaries are awarded based on the strength and quality of the application. Not all who apply make it to the interview stage, this is a competitive process.
Shortlisted candidates will be contacted late November and invited for interview just before Christmas either in person or via Zoom. Please prepare for your interview and be able to show examples of your prior work, or provide website links. Awards are made and funds transferred in early January.
Shortlisted candidates will be asked to submit a short presentation in the form of video, Powerpoint or pdf to demonstrate their work and achievements, as well as a photograph of themselves that may be used by the festival for promotional purposes if their application is successful.
