THE SCHOLARSHIP awards the winner the value of an Art History Abroad (AHA) two week summer course (£3680 in 2015). AHA courses are led by enthusiastic tutors who will bring the art of the Renaissance and the culture of Italy to life. The scholarship is open to all, but is particularly intended to encourage students who do not have a scholarly interest in art history. It will be awarded as result of a competition, which invites an imaginative, though not necessarily art historical, response. All applicants must register their intention to apply for the Sir Trenchard Cox Scholarship in advance with Art History Abroad, full details of AHA's courses can be found on their website www.arthistoryabroad.com
ELIGIBILITY Applicants must be at least 16 years old and under 19, exceptions do apply, contact Art History Abroad for further details.

FEES AND SPENDING MONEY  The value of the scholarship is Art History Abroad's fee for a summer course.  This covers a return flight, accommodation, all museum entry fees, travel and tuition.

TRANSFERABILITY A successful applicant may wish to transfer the value of the 2 week summer course to an Art History Abroad six weeks gap year course but he/she will have to pay the balance of the fees. Otherwise the value of the Scholarship may not be transferred or cashed in. If the winner is unable to take up the place offered the benefit of the Scholarship will be offered to the runner up. The winner in 2016 will be allowed to use the scholarship against the following courses: any 2 week summer courses in 2016, Gap Year 6 week courses in late Summer and Autumn 2016 or Spring 2017.
