The Burlington Magazine’s Travel Bursaries to study collections of European drawings.

We are delighted to announce a new initiative: The Burlington Magazine Travel Bursaries, generously funded by the Rick Mather David Scrase Foundation.

These bursaries are designed to support emerging art historians undertaking research on old master drawings. The awards will fund travel to major collections worldwide to study works of Western art on paper from the Renaissance to 1900.

Typical awards will range from £2,000–£2,500 for travel within Europe and £3,000–£3,500 for intercontinental travel. Applications are welcomed from postgraduate and curatorial researchers worldwide.

The deadline for applications is Sunday, 1 February 2026.
