Barns-Graham Assistance Award

The Barns-Graham Assistance Award is an annual award worth £1,000 awarded to a Fine Art student at the University of the Highlands and Islands who is struggling financially to purchase items necessary to complete their course. The award is open to Fine Art students in all years of study. The award can be used to purchase IT equipment such as MacBooks or similar devices, artist materials, or anything deemed essential to the student in their studies which they are otherwise unable to afford. However, it cannot be used for course fees or living costs. There is an application process with the successful recipient being selected by a panel, and all applicants will be asked to demonstrate financial hardship.
