Lords Feoffees scholarship recipient, Ruby Walker, has graduated from the University of Oxford with a first class honours degree in history.
“I would like to thank the Lords Feoffees for offering such a generous scholarship to students from Bridlington. The money that I received from the grant was put to use to purchase a laptop, books for my course, and to help with the general costs associated with moving to university. The scholarship was straightforward to apply for, and undoubtedly made the transition from school student to undergraduate that bit easier. Altogether a great opportunity for hardworking students; I would thoroughly recommend applying.” Ruby Walker, August 2019
The Lords Feoffees are proud to help many hardworking Bridlington students, like Ruby, reach their academic potential. Shortlisting for the 2019 scholarships is currently underway and applications for 2020 will open in the spring. For more information regarding the Lords Feoffees scholarship click here.

“My final major piece of work was the dress, which took 170 hours to complete in total. It was a huge amount of work. It is looking at art history from old to new, is made of an old, water-damaged book and is even wearable! I wanted to highlight the relevance of art history to young people and designers/artists today.”
