Moorhouse Scholarships

The Moorhouse Scholarships are awards of £10,000 each available to 4 Home or International students accepted on the MA Textile Design course at Chelsea College of Arts, University of the Arts London. The scholarships provide a contribution of £5,000 towards course tuition fees and £5,000 towards living expenses. The Moorhouse Bursary and Scholarship Programme has been established at UAL in accordance with Tessa Moorhouse's wishes to continue to provide support for the causes which she and her husband Rodney championed for the benefit of future generations of students. Rodney Moorhouse was a textile designer and photographer who studied and taught at both Camberwell and Chelsea Colleges of Arts in the 1960s and 1970s. His wife, Tessa, was a judge who specialised in children's rights. Despite suffering serious injuries in a road accident early in their careers, Rodney and his wife Tessa devoted their lives to helping young artists and to combatting inequality. The Scholarships will be assessed on the basis of financial need and academic merit. Applications are welcome from those who are in financial hardship and those who will benefit from postgraduate studies to realise their full potential.
