Starr Foundation Scholarship
The Starr Scholarship is only available to young American artists for an artist-in-residence at the Royal Academy Schools with tenure of one year. The Starr Foundation Scholarship provides the cost of a studio for one year at the Royal Academy Schools in London, plus maintenance and travel expenses, to a United States citizen who has completed the equivalent of a Master of Arts degree in Fine Art. The successful candidate will be given a studio at the Schools and an exhibition of his or her work at the end of the residency.
The Royal Academy Schools and this scholarship offers a unique opportunity for a strong, young, self-motivated artist to develop personally in an individual studio. The Starr Scholar will be expected to take a leading role in seminars and debates within the Schools.
The closing date for applications for the Starr Scholarship is Friday 8 May 2009.
