Established in memory of former AA student Nicholas Boas (1975–1998), this travel scholarship allows AA students to spend three weeks in Rome in July. The recipients will be based at the British School at Rome, where generations of artists and scholars have researched the history, art and architecture of Italy. Expenses for the trip are generously taken care of by the Nicholas Boas Trust. Any current AA registered student may apply by submitting a short written paragraph stating why they wish to travel to Rome and what interest they intend to pursue there.

Shortlisted applicants will be asked to attend an informal interview to discuss their current work and their ideas for a Rome visit. The successful candidate is expected to produce a small body of work as a result of their visit – sketches, photographs or the basis of a project.

The deadline for applications is Friday 7 May.

Applicants must give their name, address, telephone number and email address and may be posted, handed in to AA Reception or emailed to Belinda Flaherty at belinda@aaschool.ac.uk. For further information, please contact Belinda Flaherty.
