How to Apply
To apply for a 2012/13 Creative Arts On-Course Scholarship, download our application form (doc). You can get help completing your application by reading our guidance notes (doc).
The deadline for applying for 2012/13 On-Course Scholarships is Friday 1st June 2012.
The application process gives you an opportunity to tell us about your achievements in Creative Arts during academic year 2011/12, your future plans and how a scholarship would benefit you.
We advise you to wait until the end of the academic year to submit your application so that you can document as many of your achievements as possible.
The judging panel will be keen to discover:
- Your interests and involvement in the Creative Arts within academic year 2011/12;
- How you have gone beyond what is expected of you in school, college or at Edge Hill. This may include A-level or degree coursework of a high standard and/or projects completed independently.
We will also take into account success achieved in adversity, where you have demonstrated excellence in Creative Arts and had to overcome exceptional circumstances.
It's essential to provide evidence to demonstrate your success by providing photographs of your artwork, certificates, short stories, poems etc. You must also choose a referee who will be asked to explain in a few paragraphs why they think you're a deserving recipient of an On-Course Scholarship.
Please note, large / fragile artwork cannot be accepted and work submitted will not be returned (unless you can collect it from the Ormskirk Campus). Photographs are preferable.
