Martha Vidor Scholarship for Screen Composition

The Martha Vidor Scholarship for Screen Composition is available to UK students studying MA Composition for Film, TV and Games.

In each academic year, one scholarship will be made available to a UK student progressing to the MA Composition for Film, TV and Games. The scholarship takes the form of a partial tuition fee reduction, worth £5,000.

UK applicants of both pathways (Academic and Practical) are eligible to be considered, providing the conditions below have been met.

Conditions

Applicants must be UK students and able to demonstrate this.

The eligibility of applicants will be considered as part of the standard application procedure. There is no separate application process for the scholarship.

As part of the standard application process, applicants may be expected to provide a sample of their written and/or creative work.

The successful candidate will keep the University regularly updated on their progress and achievements.

The successful candidate will be required to assist in the promotion of the scholarship and the MA Composition for Film, TV and Games programme as appropriate and when requested to do so.

The scholarship will take the form of a partial tuition fee reduction, worth £5,000, against the full-time UK tuition fee for that particular year.

The scholarship is conditional on successful academic progress and demonstration of professional behaviour. The panel reserves the right to withdraw or suspend the Scholarship if there are any reasons for concern.

Due to the nature of the award (i.e. tuition fee waiver) it cannot be claimed in conjunction with another scholarship or bursary which constitutes a reduction on tuition fees (e.g. the UoL Graduate Loyalty Advancement Scholarship).

No cash alternative is available. Should the successful student decide to permanently withdraw from their studies, the award will be forfeited. A student who wishes to suspend their studies and resume them at a later date will be able to claim the remainder of the scholarship on a pro-rata basis, depending on the proportion of the programme already studied.
