The Anna Plowden Trust Grants at University of the Arts London, UK: Conservation

The Anna Plowden Trust has two main programmes of grants. The first gives support for the primary training of UK conservation students by awarding grants towards the cost of fees for full or part time conservation courses. The second allows conservators in the private sector to take advantage of CPD opportunities by contributing towards the cost of short courses and attending conferences.

Selection of successful candidates for the first programme normally takes place in July of each year and updated application forms are available from the end of April. Applications for grants towards mid-career training are considered in April, July and September each year.The Trust does not fund conservation projects per se, nor training in the conservation of buildings and the non- moveable heritage – except where the skills acquired could be applied to moveable objects.
