Scholarships and Financial Aid




Sotheby's Institute of Art offers applicants a range of scholarships and financial aid across all of its graduate programmes. Please note that only applicants who have been offered a place on a graduate programme are eligible to apply for a scholarship. All graduate students are eligible to apply for financial aid.

Click here to download the scholarship and financial aid application form. Please note that this form is applicable for financial aid at all three Institutes (New York, London, Singapore). Financial aid applications are reviewed on a rolling basis throughout the year.

Please note that Sotheby's Institute of Art receives a very high volume of scholarship applications each year and is therefore regrettably unable to provide detailed feedback to unsuccessful applicants.
