Architecture
The Ian Baker Bursary
In 2010, a generous donation was made in memory of the benefactor’s father, Ian Baker, who was a professional architect and artist. The benefactor wished the money to be distributed annually to any student studying architecture in Scotland (not just in Glasgow). This is for architectural students who wish to travel within the UK and abroad over holiday periods for the purposes of observing differing styles of architecture and cultures. Awards are up to a maximum of £500.
Students
- Must be studying architecture
- Must attend a Scottish institution
- Use any award given to help with travel costs
