The Bloomfield Scholarships will provide two scholarships per year for five years to enable ten Home students to pursue the BFA Fine Art Undergraduate degree at UCL. With the first awards being made in the 23/24 academic year, the scholarship will be awarded every year until the 27/28 academic year. The scholarships will be awarded based on financial need. The Bloomfield Scholarships will support the fees and maintenance costs for the duration of their degree. Each recipient will receive £25,000 in each year of study.

Application Process

Timeline: Mid-April to early-June (Application usually opens after UCL central Admissions team sends out official offers.)
Form: An online application form will be shared with all eligible offer holders via email.

Selection Procedure

The UCL Student Funding office (SFO) and the Slade School of Fine Art will be responsible for selecting the most suitable student candidates. UCL reserves the right not to make an award if, in its judgement, there is no suitable candidate. 

All applications will be considered in the Slade Prizes Committee in the end of June. The prizes committee members include Director of School, Head of Areas, Director of Studies, EDI Lead, Teaching and Learning Officers.

Outcome

Early July, the Slade Teaching and Learning Office will communicate the Slade Prizes Committee's decision with the selected scholars via email and also inform OVPA to contact the donor. The Slade Teaching and Learning team will also provide a brief supporting statement from the Prize Committee. The selected scholars' portfolios will be shared with the donor. However the donor has no influence at all over the decision.
