“The scholarship enabled me to dedicate time to my passion” Florence Merrett, Elly Williams Arts Scholar
Our Arts Scholarship programme supports students who are keen to develop their creative talents alongside their studies. Whether it’s a flair for photography, a passion for performing or a musical ear, the programme provides opportunities for students to advance their skills, collaborate with like-minded peers and perform at excellence showcases.
Successful applicants receive £1,000 and the opportunity to take part in enrichment activities and performances to develop their creative talent.
Elly Williams Arts Scholar, Florence Merrett, says:
The scholarship enabled me to dedicate time each week to something that I am so passionate about. It’s not just about the money but all the incredible opportunities that have come with the scholarship, such as getting to work with talented professionals and performing at the scholar showcase event, Platform. I cannot express my gratitude enough.
We would like to thank Dorothy Walters-Godfree, Elly Williams, Nick Berry, Anna and Grace McQuaid, Margaret Dewey, Santander Universities, Kathryn and Simon Arnold, and the Cullum Family for their generous contributions to the Scholarship and Tuition Awards programme.
What was once the Arts Barn is now Bath’s largest creation centre, The Edge. Home to the Andrew Brownsword Gallery, made possible by a £250,000 gift from honorary graduate Andrew Brownsword CBE DL, it provides a year-round programme of exhibitions, performances, workshops and family events for our campus community and the general public.
The Edge is a place where artists, audiences, researchers and academics can find new perspectives and a platform for ideas.
How scholarships give students space to grow their skills.
“I have received mentoring that has greatly helped my development as a classical guitarist. I have performed at several events, such as the Vice- Chancellor’s inauguration, and I won a competition that I would have had no hope of attending without your help. I have now started taking lessons in orchestral conducting at the Royal College of Music, which has been a dream of mine for years. Thank you!”
