Marten Bequest Travelling Scholarships

Assisting young, talented Australians in the arts

The Marten Bequest Travelling Scholarships provide support for young Australians in a variety of categories to help them further their cultural education and achieve their dreams. They are awarded each year for study, maintenance and travel either in Australia or overseas.

Scholarships are offered in nine categories that alternate:

  • Instrumental Music
  • Painting
  • Poetry
  • Prose
  • Sculpture
