The New Directions Scholarship
In 2019, a generous donor established the New Directions Scholarship at The Courtauld, and we are pleased to award this competitive scholarship in 2021/22 for eligible students.
New Directions Scholars are students:
- Of any age or nationality
- Enrolled on the Courtauld MA History of Art programme
- Taking up an MA as part of the scholar’s efforts to change their career path from a sector or discipline other than History of Art
If you are eligible, please apply as part of our standard Courtauld Scholarship application process and indicate that you would like to be considered for the New Directions Scholarship.
