Bailrigg Awards
Thanks to a generous endowment from the family of a former student,* the Department is able to offer some support (up to £150 per award) to students, both BA and MA, who are suffering financial hardship. A student can apply once or twice a year; and, if merited, can receive one award per year.
The David Craig Memorial Scholarship
Thanks to another generous endowment, this award provides £500 upon starting an MA in Creative Writing. Full details at https://www.lancaster.ac.uk/arts-and-social-sciences/postgraduate-funding/david-craig-memorial-fund/
Department Prizes
Each year we award 14 named student prizes at BA level (years 1-3) and 5 prizes at MA level.
Keep in touch!
