Arts and Music Scholarships Q&A (online)

The scholarships support any art form including all forms of music, creative writing, dance, drama, photography, film and art. Each scholar will receive a £200 cash prize and up to £500 bespoke funding to develop your talent further. This support might include one-to-one tuition, mentoring, attending training or industry events.

The deadline for 2026/27 applications is Sunday 18 October 2026. 

To help you with your application - or decide whether or not you think you should apply - LU Arts is running this online drop-in event. This is a chance to ask any questions you might have about the scholarships and the application process. You might want to check your eligibility to apply, discuss your ideas (particularly for the type of support/mentoring you might ask for), ask about what supporting evidence to include or find out more about the selection process.

You do not need to join for the whole meeting and it doesn't matter if you are late joining us - stay for as little or as long as you like to get the help you need.

This event will be held on Microsoft Teams and the link and login details are below:
