MA Financial Support Awards
Gertrude Aston Bowater was a student at the School of Art in the 1940s and over her long life she had a passion for art. As a result of this she requested in her will that her family create a bequest from her estate that would provide financial support for up to three full time MA students, which would contribute to the cost of fees.
