Student Opportunities grant

The programme enables students to explore an interest in the arts alongside future career options, while providing organisations with extra capacity which is skilled and accountable.

We are currently welcoming conversations about grant applications to run paid opportunities for students in post from Autumn 2024 – Spring 2025. The aim of this funding is to help museums, galleries and visual arts organisations provide paid opportunities for full-time university students to gain meaningful, developmental work experience that enables them to explore their interest in the arts, and related future career options, before they graduate.

We encourage applications that focus on facilitating public engagement with art – whether that be online or in real life.

We will fund the costs associated with paying students for the time they spend supporting your organisation in delivering projects. This is based on the current national and London living wage rates.
