The Fatboy Slim Martlets Scholarship
Everyone at BIMM University is delighted that we have partnered with world-renowned musician and local resident, Fatboy Slim, to launch a brand-new scholarship for 2024 entry.
Fatboy Slim, whose real name is Norman Cook, is synonymous with our seaside city: having studied here himself as an undergraduate, he has continued to live in Brighton and Hove for most of his adult life. The scholarship will also be in association with Martlets, a charity that provides essential services to local people affected by terminal illness and for whom Fatboy Slim is a patron. To be able to launch this new BIMM Music Institute initiative alongside a local music icon as well as a brilliant local charity makes it all the more special for us.
Launching for September 2024 entry, The Fatboy Slim Martlets Scholarship will provide a full 3-year tuition fee scholarship for a candidate from a low household income and/or groups under-represented in the creative industries. We are looking to support those who demonstrate talent in their chosen discipline, strong creative potential, and a high motivation for a career in the creative industries.
The scholarship will support undergraduate degree study across our music courses at BIMM Music Institute Brighton.
We understand that studying at university can be a challenging financial commitment, which is why we offer several scholarships and bursaries to help you achieve your ambitions, whatever your background.
