September 2024 entry
The Lorna Webber Vipond Arts Scholarship was created following the untimely death of Lorna Webber (nee Vipond), a much-loved local artist and teacher.
For September 2024, one scholarship of £4,000 (£1,000 for each year of study) is available to support a local UK undergraduate student studying art at the University of Reading. It provides financial support to contribute towards the recipient's living costs whilst studying, so that they can afford a broad range of art materials, can visit exhibitions throughout their studies and participate in cultural experiences that will contribute to their creative outputs. This scholarship is funded by the generosity of Lorna’s family.
To apply, you must be local to Reading with an RG postcode and have applied to one of our undergraduate art courses. You can apply as soon as you have made an application and before your interview. Once the application is complete, please send to fineart@reading.ac.uk.
The deadline to apply was Friday 12 April 2024 (23:59 GMT). Late applications will not be considered. Please see the guidance notes and terms and conditions for full eligibility requirements.
September 2025 entry
The same scholarship will also be offered for 2025 entry. Please check back in October 2024 for information on the application process and deadlines.
