Courtauld Bursary

Alex Hawkins — Fri, 23 Apr 2021 13:35:09 +0000

What is 91�Թ��Bursary?

91�Թ��Bursary provides financial support for your maintenance and living costs on a sliding scale for Home undergraduates registered as students at 91�Թ�� who meet set Widening Participation criteria.? The Bursary is aimed at supporting students to study at 91�Թ��who come from under-represented groups in higher education.

91�Թ��Bursary:

is available each year of your studies as long as your annual household income remains under ?45,000
may be revised each year if there are changes to your household income

can be awarded in addition to The James Hughes Hallett Memorial Fund Scholarship

91�Թ��Bursary is?not?available for:

repeat years of study
postgraduate study or research
overseas students
EU students

Eligibility

The key criterion for assessing how Courtauld Bursaries are awarded is based on household income assessments done by relevant government funding bodies, i.e. Student Finance England, Student Finance Northern Ireland, Student Awards Agency for Scotland and Student Finance Wales. ?This is why only Home students who have applied for Student Loans are eligible for 91�Թ��Bursary scheme.

When applying for government funding, both you and your parents?must?consent to sharing the financial information you provide on your Student Loan application.? This will allow us to access your information and determine your eligibility for a Courtauld Bursary.

In addition, Widening Participation markers are also considered.? These are:

State school or college educated
Students whose parents have not attended university
Resident in a low Higher Education participation neighbourhood
In receipt of Disability Support Allowance

There is no formal application procedure and no separate application form for 91�Թ��Bursary.

Your eligibility for a Courtauld Bursary will be assessed in the first few weeks of the first term of the academic year, as long as you have applied for a Student Loan.? In subsequent years you will be re-assessed at the start of the academic year to ensure that you still meet the eligibility criteria for a Courtauld Bursary.

How much money can I receive from a Courtauld Bursary

Household Income Per Annum	Courtauld Bursary Per Annum
?25,000 or less	?3,000
?25,001 to ?30,000	?2,000
?30,001 to ?35,000	?1,500
?35,001 to ?45,000	?1,000
Above ?45,000	?0

Depending on how much your household income is, you can receive up to ?3,000 per annum to support your studies while at The Courtauld.? The table above gives the sliding scale of amounts that you can receive, based on your household income.

Once the Student Loans Company confirms your funding entitlement to us, we will write to you to confirm the bursary amount that you will receive from The Courtauld.

The deadline by which we must receive your household income information from the Student Loans Company is 1 December after the start of the academic year (e.g. we must receive this information by 1 December 2021 for students starting in September 2021).

The earlier you apply for student loan funding (we advise you to apply as soon as possible), the earlier we will be able to confirm what Bursary you will be eligible for.

What do I need to do to be considered?

Once we have assessed your information we will write to you informing you of your Bursary entitlement.? You will be asked to confirm that you wish to accept 91�Թ��Bursary.

Please note that the Bursary is paid to support your living/maintenance costs, and is not re-payable.

You must sign the declaration, provide your bank account details and return your Bursar confirmation by the date specified.

When and how is the Bursary paid?

91�Թ��Bursary is paid directly into your bank account.

Founded on the belief that everyone should have the opportunity to engage with art, 91�Թ��works to increase understanding of the role played by art throughout history, in all societies and across all geographies �C as well as being a champion for the importance of art in the present day.

91�Թ��is committed to attracting the very best students from across the world, regardless of their background or financial circumstances. In a global context of reduced public funding for higher education, scholarships are among our highest philanthropic priorities.

91�Թ��is proud to award an average of 90 postgraduate scholarships annually over the past five years. Unfortunately, the need expressed by students for financial aid dramatically outpaces the funds available.

We are exceptionally grateful to all supporters of The Courtauld��s Scholarship Fund. Their generosity has influenced the lives of hundreds of scholars who have directly benefited from truly transformative philanthropy.

Spotlight: The student perspective

After a successful career in law in London and Dublin, Janet O��Brien undertook The Courtauld��s MA History of Art in the specialist option Persian Painting and Transcultural Visuality: From the Mongols to the Safavids with Dr Babaie in 2014/15, receiving a Distinction. Following two years of intense curatorial training in Islamic art, first as Curatorial Intern at The Walters Art Museum in Baltimore and later as Curatorial Assistant at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Janet returned to 91�Թ��to embark on her PhD in 2017.

Janet��s research focuses on the emergence of royal portraiture in eighteenth-century Iran and the large and richly diverse group of portraits of N��dir Sh��h, Janet explains the significant impact of scholarship support:

��The scholarship has certainly eased the financial burden, but more precious than that, it is a gift of possibilities that opens up a whole new world of knowledge, interconnections, and wonderment. I am very aware of the privilege of studying for a PhD at 91�Թ��and the extraordinary opportunities that are available to me. I therefore urge you to support this vital fund so that other aspiring students may fulfill their potentials to lead and serve the field of art history.��

The James Hughes-Hallett Undergraduate Scholarships

Established in memory of The Courtauld��s distinguished former Chairman, James Hughes-Hallett CMG from the academic year 2021/22, at least three awards will be made annually for undergraduates from underrepresented backgrounds. Formed by an initial coalition of donors, and led by a generous gift from Esm��e Fairbairn Foundation, the landmark fund enables 91�Թ��to offer undergraduate scholarships for the first time.

The James Hughes-Hallett undergraduate scholarships are part of a larger strategy from 91�Թ��to address the general lack of awareness of Art History as a rigorous humanities subject, and the specific lack of teaching of art history in state schools (only 717 students took Art History A Level in 2018; and the subject is taught in fewer than 5% of state schools). 91�Թ��widen access online, in person, and through a broad range of programmes. Through these combined efforts, nearly 6,000 students around the UK annually participate in young people��s programming delivered by The Courtauld.

The Royal Historical Society (RHS) report on Race, Ethnicity and Equality reports that nationally only 11.3% of undergraduate cohorts in historical and philosophical studies are from Black, Asian, minority ethnic backgrounds.

Philanthropy will be the significant driver of change, as art history as a discipline faces challenges nationally and internationally.

Continuing a strategic commitment to diversity, inclusion and equality, 91�Թ��seeks to amplify diverse perspectives in art history, conservation and curating to ensure that art history is studied by people from all backgrounds with the highest potential.

James Hughes-Hallett was a tireless advocate of The Courtauld��s vision to open minds to the power of art. James��s commitment and leadership affected every aspect of The Courtauld. He was a student of The Courtauld, a proud parent, a dedicated donor, Governing Board member and Chairman from 2012-2017. In all he endeavoured, James demonstrated his passion for humanity, arts and education.

Eligible students for the James Hughes-Hallett Undergraduate Scholarship will be applicants attending non-selective UK state school or college, whose parents did not attend university, and will have a household income below ?30,000. Additional consideration will be made for carers, care leavers, individuals with a disability, people from minority ethnic groups and refugees.

Thesis: A Technical Study of Dress in the Art of Gandhara- Materials, Techniques, Connections and Exchange

Primary Supervisor: Dr Sussan Babaie

Co-Supervisor: Dr Giovanni Verri

Secondary external supervisor: Rosemary Crill

Funded by The Robert H. N. Ho. Doctoral Scholarship for the study of Buddhist Art

A profuse representation of dress and textiles can be observed in the Buddhist art of Gandhara and Mathura. Historians have time and again turned to the various components of dress, alongside other iconographic forms, to assist in the identification of religious and secular figures or for their classification into stylistic typologies. Dress has also been used as evidence of the stylistic exchange between the workshops of Gandhara and Mathura, to underscore the inclusivity? in Gandhara or to suggest a Gandharan or Mathura provenance to an object. Despite its significance, there exists no comprehensive study, to date, devoted to the origin, materiality and construction of dress from this period.

The proposed research will undertake a technical study of dress represented in Kushan art from both its sculptural schools��Mathura and Gandhara. ? The research will adopt a comprehensive approach that combines art historical enquiry, literary sources, archaeological evidence, and a technical study of materials and reconstruction. The fundamental idea behind this approach is that the study of dress in art cannot be confined to stylistic analysis based on visual examination alone, or for that matter purely technical studies of garment construction, but needs to benefit from the synthesis of both these aspects, so as to maximise approaches and context towards this subject.

Thesis: Art, War and Propaganda: Visual Rhetoric of the Empire of Japan during the Asia-Pacific War,?1931-1945

Supervisor: Dr Wenny Teo

Extenal Advisor: Dr Irena Hayter (University of Leeds)

Japan��s imperial project stood encircled and embattled. In the north, protesters in Manchuria stood against Japan��s colonial rule. America��s anti-Japanese crusaders put Japan at a disadvantage in international politics in the east. To the south and west, British colonialism posed a threat to Japan’s pan-Asian ideals. Yet Japanese artists, intellectuals, and government officials held high hopes that photography would transform this situation to secure a victory in the face of overwhelming odds, whether economic, political, and cultural. They believed that photography could be a propaganda magic wand. My PhD, ‘Art, War and Propaganda: Visual Rhetoric of the Empire of Japan during the Fifteen Years War, 1931-1945,’ is the first English-language study investigating this political use of photography from an art-historical perspective. Drawing upon propaganda theory and history, this study, based on the research of primary sources, addresses Japan��s wartime photography with a global emphasis. For instance, this study shows that Pictorialism was used to control anti-colonial activists in Manchukuo; that Japan��s first photography policy was formulated to influence America��s eastern strategy; and that the media made a hero of Subhas Chandra Bose to justify Japan��s mission for emancipating Asians from British colonialism. These elements are situated within the history of Japanese photography, from pictorialist (geijutsu shashin), to modernist (shink�� shashin) to journalistic photography (h��d�� shashin), to explore how artists and critics shaped the medium in response to era-defining events, including the 1923 earthquake, the withdrawal from the League of Nations, and the Attack on Pearl Harbor. In general, this study contributes to the literature on the Second World War, fascism, and Japan��s wartime visual culture.
