These scholarships offer substantial assistance towards tuition fees, and students from outside Europe may also receive a contribution towards living expenses.

Scholarships will be available for students who audition for September 2011 entry.

Deadline for applications for auditions in London: 1st October 2010

Deadline for applications for auditions in North America: 10th January 2011

There is no separate scholarship application process. Applications are made via the Academy's normal live entrance audition process (see www.ram.ac.uk/study/). If your audition is successful and you are offered a study place, the Academy may select you to be proposed, and if so will pass your details to the Manoukian Foundation for consideration.

Applicants must be under 20 years old for Undergraduate and under 27 years old for Postgraduate programmes to be eligible for consideration for a Manoukian Scholarship.

Also, to be eligible, applicants must be Armenian nationals or be able to provide documentary evidence (normally by providing a certified copy of a passport) that one or both parents are Armenian nationals.
