Apply Now: Alphawood Online Scholarship for Asian Art Studies

The Alphawood Online Scholarship supports students pursuing the SOAS-Alphawood Postgraduate Diploma in Asian Art via a new online pathway. Covering tuition fees and living costs, this scholarship allows scholars to study remotely in their home countries and attend a two-week summer school in London. Applications are open until August 30, 2024, with the program beginning in January 2025.

We’re delighted to announce that SOAS’s new online pathway to complete the ‘SOAS-Alphawood Postgraduate Diploma in Asian Art’ will be supported by a number of Alphawood Online Scholarships between January and December 2025.

These scholarships are designed to increase access to the new online offer by helping scholars that decide to stay in their home country and study the Postgraduate Diploma remotely. They will cover the cost of all tuition fees and provide a stipend to help with living costs while studying.

The new Alphawood Online Scholarship is part of an academic programme which is generously supported by the Alphawood Foundation (Chicago). The remit of the programme is to support and advance, through study and research, the understanding and preservation of Southeast Asian Buddhist and Hindu art and architecture from ancient to pre-modern times. The remit includes study of the built environment, sculpture, painting, illustrated texts, textiles and other tangible or visual representations, along with the written word related to these, and archaeological, museum and cultural heritage studies.

Since 2014, Alphawood has provided over one hundred scholarships which supported Southeast Asian scholars’ postgraduate study at Postgraduate Diploma, MA and MPhil/PhD levels at SOAS. The Alphawood Online Scholarships also provide support for our students to advance their English-language proficiency.
