They hope that those who study under this scholarship will go on to contribute to the course by lecturing or tutoring in the future or by promoting the study of Asian art through other platforms. 

ELIGIBILITY:

One Dr. Hettie Elgood Scholarship is available for the 2026/27 academic year running from 28 September 2026 to 4 August 2027. Recipients of the scholarship will complete the following modules:

Arts of India

Analysing and Exploring the Arts

Arts of China

Arts of Japan & Korea or Arts of the Buddhist World

the Independent Study Project in Asian Art History or Asian Art: Theories, Practices and Objects

Applicants must:

Already hold an offer of a place on the SOAS-Alphawood Postgraduate Diploma in Asian Art.

Possess or expect to be awarded a 2:1 or above, an equivalent non-UK qualification, or equivalent professional experience. Students with a non-UK degree are to be adjudged by their referees and transcript.

Explain their eligibility in a separate statement of financial need.

Two references providing an opinion on your suitability for this programme of study as a scholarship student. Academic references are preferred, but one professional reference is acceptable. Two professional references can be provided if you have been out of academia for more than 5 years.

Referees can email references directly to Programme Manager Patrick Monger at asianart@soas.ac.uk but these must be received by the application deadline.

The scholarship is specifically to support in-person study in London; online modules cannot be taken as part of the programme for the scholarship holder.

London residency during term-time is a requirement.
