Goldsmiths Equity Awards

Successful applicants will be selected on a competitive basis.

Initial shortlisting by eligibility criteria is completed by the Scholarships Co-ordinator, all applicants who meet the eligibility criteria are then forwarded to the next stage.

All applicants who meet the basic criteria for an award will have their application considered by an awarding panel. All panel members understand that applicants will have a broad range of differing skills, attributes and experiences. Panel members also understand that what is important is the content of the answers and their relevance to the question, not the standard of writing.

Final award recipients and reserve candidates will be decided by the panel.

The above conditions are in addition to the general regulations and criteria for all awards.

We are grateful to Goldsmiths alumni and friends and one donor who wishes to remain anonymous for their generous funding of the awards.
