BURSARIES
2022 is the final year of offering the Olive Brown Bursary, which provides up to £1,000 per year for up to three years to assist the study of one performing arts student from Jersey training at higher-education level.
ABOUT APPLYING
Over the past 13 years we have invested over £40,000 through this bursary, which has supported 15 students in their pursuit of a career in performing arts. We are actively seeking new sources of funding to keep these opportunities open and would welcome hearing from any individuals or sponsors who might be in the position to help.
Submissions are closed for this year. Watch this space for news on future bursaries, should funding be available.
ABOUT OLIVE BROWN
Olive Brown, originally from Salford in Lancashire, lived in the island from 1959 until her death in 1990, when she left assets in a private will trust to be applied for charitable purposes.
Olive and her husband John were known to be devout members of the Salvation Army throughout their lives and also to be very kindly disposed to young people, especially supportive of their creative aspirations.
The Executors of the will trust decided to forward a sum of money to ArtHouse Jersey in the knowledge that its resources and expertise are ideally suited to the fulfilment of her wishes, ensuring her generosity lives on.
