Manetti Shrem International Residency Scholarships
Each year, UC Davis offers four students scholarships, the Manetti Shrem International Scholarships, to attend the Royal Drawing School's Drawing Intensive program during the fall quarter. The Royal Drawing School aims to raise the standard and profile of drawing through teaching and practice. At its core is the belief that drawing is crucial for all aspects of visual learning.
This opportunity is open to all UCD seniors who have their degrees by the following spring, and recently graduated Art Studio majors.
The residency is a twelve-week commitment: ten weeks in London with classwork at the Royal Drawing School and two weeks at Dumfries House in Scotland. In Scotland, shared housing and studio space are provided, but students are responsible for travel expenses, food, and art materials. While at Dumfries House, individual tutorials continue with faculty at the RDS.
The Manetti Shrem International Scholarship covers all tuition and fees to the Royal Drawing School. All other expenses, including travel to London and Scotland and return, housing in London and food, and art supplies for work outside of the RDS classes, are the responsibility of the student. Each award is a $3,000 stipend.
