The Society of Architectural Historians of Great Britain Scholarship 2023/24

The Master's Bursary scheme, supported by the generous bequest of the Arnold Hayward Stevenson Educational Trust Fund, is now open for applications.

There are significant, often structural, barriers to postgraduate study, in particular in disciplines like architectural history. We are working to diversify our discipline and those who practise it. As part of the Society’s commitment to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion we very strongly encourage underrepresented communities to imagine their futures in architectural history and to apply for this bursary. Recognising that partial support often excludes those from non-traditional backgrounds for postgraduate study in the humanities, we are offering a £20,000 bursary to one candidate.

Our intention is that this bursary will be transformational for the successful candidate, opening up the possibility of further study and career development in architectural history in higher education, heritage practice and/or museums and collections. Candidates should be intending to study a course at a U.K. university.
