Previous bursaries

Alexander Anderson Medal and Prize

The Alexander Anderson medal and prize was previously awarded for the best performance by a student in the final year of the BA Hons or MArch programme by the School of Architecture. The prize and medal were kindly donated by the Cole Anderson Foundation, a charitable body established by Mr Alexander Anderson's family. Alexander Anderson (1903-1996) was born in Liverpool and attended the School of Civic Design from 1920-23. He studied under Professor Abercrombie, with whom he kept in touch until his death, and became a respected town planner responsible for the development of many buildings including the award winning 'Greyfriars' complex in Ipswich.

Elmes Bursary

The fund, known as the Elmes Testimonial Fund, was founded on the 20th June 1856, in memory of Harvey Lonsdale Elmes, a prominent city architect and the designer of the St Georges Hall in Liverpool. The purpose of the fund was to 'encourage students from schools in the city of Liverpool and educational institutes to study at Liverpool School of Architecture'.

The fund closed in 2018, and is no longer awarded.
