Andrew Grant Postgraduate Scholarships

Edinburgh College of Art (ECA) is delighted to announce the Andrew Grant PG Scholarships to applicants for postgraduate (PG) programmes in our five Schools: School of Art; School of Design; ESALA (Architecture and Landscape Architecture); History of Art; and the Reid School of Music. The scholarships honor Andrew Grant, born 1830 in Leith, who was an established international businessman, liberal politician, landowner and alumnus of the University of Edinburgh. Between 1907 and 1909, he gifted £10,000 towards the construction of the new Edinburgh College of Art (ECA) and left around £350,000 to The Andrew Grant Bequest, to benefit students of the college. Thirteen scholarships are offered, each worth £13,700. These awards will be tenable for one academic year and will be automatically deducted from tuition fees with any remaining funds being awarded towards living costs. All scholarship award holders are expected to be energetic members of the postgraduate community, and will engage with opportunities to present their work to the wider student and staff body during the period covered by their award.
