Regulations for the Barreau Art Scholarship

The Scholarship shall be known as the Barreau Art Scholarship and its purpose shall be to assist the study of Fine Art in the form of painting, engraving, sculpture, architecture, decorative design, film or photography.
The holder of the Scholarship may be of either sex, and shall be connected with the Island of Jersey either by race of by residence, but preferably by race.
The Executive Committee of the Société Jersiaise shall appoint to the Scholarship and shall determine the conditions under which the holder's studies are to be pursued, whether by attending a School of Art or by travelling.
The said Committee shall constitute a Board of recommendation consisting of three persons, who may or may not be members of the Société Jersiaise. Such a board shall report on the artistic qualifications of candidates, and may require them to submit specimens of their work.
The Scholarship shall not be of less value in any year than is represented by the interest on the endowment fund for the previous year. In years in which the Scholarship is not awarded, the increment shall be added to the fund, but shall not necessarily be treated as capital. Lesser grants to deserving students may be made out of the surplus thus accumulated.
The length of the tenure of the Scholarship shall be determined by the Committee, but shall in no case exceed five years. Each appointment shall be subject to the condition that the holder shall from time to time as required produce evidence of good conduct and progress to the satisfaction of the Committee, and that, if dissatisfied, the Committee may at any time terminate the appointment.
