Leche Trust Bursary

Candidates for the bursary will need to go through the usual processes of filling out an application form, providing transcripts and supporting references which will be followed by an interview with the programme director (normally online) and usually the French decorative arts tutor. Those who have been offered a place on the course, who are interested in applying for the bursary will also be required to:

submit a short, 500-word comparison of two objects in the Wallace Collection or, in the case of overseas applicants, objects selected from a local museum
submit an essay (800-1000 words) on how social history can help our understanding of the decorative arts and historic interior.
complete a means-test form
produce a statement about how they think they would benefit from the award of a Leche Trust bursary and what contribution they would intend to make to the heritage sector.

The programme director and course tutor for French Decorative Arts will then submit a short-list of three candidates whose applications will be forwarded to the Grants Director of the Leche Trust. The final decision on the award will be made by the Bursaries Sub-Committee of the Leche Trust. In the event of two or more candidates applying who are deemed to be of equal merit, the Trustees have the discretion to split the award.
