Description
The Paul Mellon Centre’s Study Support Grants help individuals begin or continue postgraduate study in British art, visual culture or architecture when financial barriers may prevent them from undertaking their course. Funding is flexible, supporting course fees, living costs and practical research needs, including trips and materials. The grant does not require a specific research outcome beyond a final report on the activity and impact of the funding.
The programme supports original, rigorous research that contributes to British art studies. The Centre takes an expansive view of the field, encompassing medieval to contemporary subjects and global histories and contexts. Research must have a clear historical and critical dimension and explain its relevance to British art, architecture or visual culture.
