Historic Houses Attingham Scholarship 2020 - apply here!

We are delighted that in 2020 Historic Houses will sponsor another place on the prestigious Attingham Trust Summer School.  

The Summer School is a residential course taking place over 18 days (in 2020 the dates will be 2 - 19 July). Applicants must already have a grounding in some aspect of country house scholarship, and must be prepared to make a full and energetic contribution to the course. 

We welcome expressions of interest from anyone living or working at one of our members’ houses. The Summer School is aimed primarily at professionals such as curators, conservators, librarians and archivists. Equally it would be perfectly possible for the Historic Houses scholarship to be taken up by a knowledgeable owner or Next Generation applicant.

To apply, please complete this online application form by midnight on Sunday 15 December 2019. We will then make a selection, and ensure that the candidate is approved by the Attingham Trust selection panel. Applicants will be notified of the outcome of their application in February 2020.
