Grants and Fellowships
British Society of Aesthetics Grants
Each year the BSA gives small grants in support of UK activities in aesthetics. Past grants have been used to support conferences and lecture series. Applicants must be members of the Society. For events abroad, it must be demonstrated that the event is in the interests of British Aesthetics. Applications should be addressed to Derek Matravers, Department of Philosophy, Open University, Milton Keynes, MK7 6AA. Email: D.C.MatraversATopen.ac.uk (replace 'AT' with '@'). Applications will be considered three times a year: at the end of February, in mid-August and in mid-November. Applications should include a specific description of the project and a pre-costing which estimates how the funds would be used. Grants do not normally exceed £ 1000, though in exceptional circumstances, they may do. The Society does not normally make grants to projects of benefit to only one or a few individuals.
