backing talent


Each year, we award scholarships to those students who demonstrate the greatest talent for the study of art history and conservation. Scholarships enable the most gifted students to study at the highest level and give them a unique opportuity to fulfil their potential.


 

enriching cultural life worldwide


Our students go on to succeed in many of the top art jobs, leading some of the world’s most famous museums and galleries, or becoming teachers, lecturers, curators or conservators of some the world’s most precious works of art. For example, we have alumni working at the highest level in organisations worldwide from The Getty, New York’s MOMA and the Prado in Madrid, to London’s National Gallery, The Victoria and Albert Museum, The British Museum and Tate.

we need your support


Our ability to offer scholarships is dependent on the generosity of individuals and charitable foundations. As a self-governing college of the University of London, we receive 35% of our annual £10million budget from the government, 20% from student tuition fees and 11% from other sources such as events and gallery income. This leaves 34% of our budget which we must find through philanthropic support.

your scholar


When you support a student at The Courtauld with a gift of over £3,500 your scholarship will be named for the period of your gift. We ensure you can also follow their progress and there is also an opportunity to meet your scholar and tutors at our Annual Scholarship Reception in The Courtauld Gallery.
