This partial scholarship, worth £1000, is offered to support a successful candidate applying for The Novel Studio, City's popular Short Course on the art of novel writing.
Funded by The Book Edit, the aim of the scholarship is to support a student of talent and potential who might not otherwise be able to accept an offer of a place on The Novel Studio.
Applicants to the scholarship will go through the same process as all other applicants but will need to include a personal statement and provide evidence of financial need.
The top three applications will be shortlisted, and a final winner chosen by a panel, including the course director, and course tutors.
Please email [email protected] if you have any questions.
