Arts and Music Scholarships Q&A

Arts and Music Scholarships are open to all current Loughborough University students (UG, PGT and PGR) from our East Midlands and London campuses and are managed by LU Arts.

The scholarships support any art form, including all forms of music, creative writing, dance, drama, photography, film and art. Each scholar will receive a £200 cash prize and the chance to apply for additional funding to develop their talent further. This support might include one-to-one tuition, mentoring, attending training or industry events.

The deadline for applications is Wednesday 22 October 2025. You can find out more about the scholarships and download an application form from the Arts and Music scholarships wesbite.

To help you with your application - or decide whether or not you think you should apply - LU Arts is running an online drop-in event. This is a chance to ask any questions you might have about the scholarships and the application process. You might want to check your eligibility to apply, discuss your ideas (particularly for the type of support/mentoring you might ask for), ask about what supporting evidence to include or find out more about the selection process.

You do not need to join for the whole meeting and it doesn't matter if you are late joining - stay for as little or as long as you like to get the help you need.

This event will be held on Microsoft Teams, and the login details are:
