Creative Practice Fund
About the fund…
The Creative Practice Fund helps to finance extra-curricular artistic initiatives involving students in the School of Culture and Creative Arts. Consideration of funding will be given to any student-led creative project relating to the School’s subject areas of theatre, film, television, music, history of art and cultural policy research. Funding will also be available for creative practice workshops led by professional practitioners in the relevant disciplines and to artistic projects devised by staff. In these latter cases, applicants will have to demonstrate that School students are centrally involved in the funded activity.
Applications must centrally involve students (undergraduate or postgraduate) currently studying in the School of Culture and Creative Arts. Members of staff and students can submit jointly for projects.
How much is available?
For the Academic year, 2013-14, we have a total budget of £7000.
The maximum award for an individual project is likely to be £500, although in exceptional circumstances, we will award up to £750 for outstanding projects.

Funding for MPhil Textile Conservation
The selection process for the MPhil Textile Conservation programme begins some time before the start of the academic year, to allow students time to raise funds for their study.
All successful applicants to the programme are encouraged to research funding opportunities and to apply for funding – advice will be available (contact Frances.Lennard@glasgow.ac.uk). In addition there is some bursary funding available through the Textile Conservation Centre Foundation – all successful applicants will be sent an application form. There are some other sources of funding, such as the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC), and smaller trusts and grant-giving bodies in the UK, as well as some overseas sources.
Potential applicants could begin to investigate local sources of funding but you should not make contact with funding bodies before you have been offered and accepted a place on the programme.
