The BritishSpanish Society is a registered charity whose objectives are to promote friendship and understanding between the people of Britain and Spain through knowledge of each other’s customs, language, institutions, history and way of life. We are a non-political organisation and membership is open to anyone with an interest in Spain and its culture. We host several cultural events and activiti

es which provide our members with an opportunity to integrate and form friendships. Additionally, as a charity, we are proud to award scholarships and bursaries to British and Spanish post-graduate students every year, thanks to the generosity of our principal supporters, and in doing so we hope to encourage valuable research and learning which we believe to be beneficial for both the UK and Spain. Due to growing membership, the Society is stronger than ever, demonstrating the enduring relevance of our central mission to bring British and Spanish people together. There has never been a better time to support the BritishSpanish Society.

Euan was one of our 2025 Scholarship Award winners. He applied for the Scholarship Programme whilst studying for a DPhil in History at University of Oxford, having already been awarded a MSt Early Modern History and a BA History, also both from University of Oxford.

Euan was also awarded the History Faculty prize for the best overall performance in cohort for his MA in History dissertation on the Morisco community in late sixteenth-century Toledo. He won his BritishSpanish Society scholarship for his project entitled “Iberians in the World of the Sultanates: knowledge exchange in Islamic Southeast Asia, 1570-1670”.

Euan’s scholarship has supported him as he researched the exchange of knowledge that occurred as a result of the Iberian pe*******on of Islamic Southeast Asia, between 1570 and 1670. He paid particular attention to practices of information gathering, collecting, writing, and archiving, with his thesis centring on the wide social fields that were essential to these knowledge encounters. Euan took great interest in exploring the vibrant intellectual and cultural relations which occurred as Iberian missionaries, diplomats, merchants, soldiers, renegades, converts and mestizos entered Islamic courts, and as Muslim actors – Sultans, nobles, interpreters, scribes and diplomats – became a part of Iberian colonial cities in Asia.

If a scholarship from the BritishSpanish Society could help you to explore and research intriguing parts of history and achieve ‘best in class’ you have until 26 June to apply.

Here is Erola, one of last year's winners describing how it felt to be the 2025 winner of a BritishSpanish Society scholarship award.

Erola applied for the Scholarship Programme whilst at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London studying historical violin with Pavlo Beznosiuk and chamber music with prominent artists such as Krysia Osostowicz and Adrian Brendel.

Erola has already performed in worldclass venues including the Barbican Centre, Atlàntida de Vic, Palau de la Música Catalana, Auditori de Barcelona and Milton Court Concert Hall.

She is one of the co-organisers of the Villa Margarita Music Fest in Arbúcies and regularly performs with Quartet Calders, Orchestras; Terrassa 48, Simfonica Segle XXI, Orquestra de Cambra de Vic, Anonimi Orchestra and with the London Simphony Orchestra.

Erola’s scholarship will support her as she researches the intersection of folk influence and classical music writing through the violin and piano sonatas of Joaquín Turina and Frederick Delius. By recording and performing Turina’s Sonata No. 2 and Delius’s Sonata No. 3 alongside outreach activities in Spain and the UK, her project aims to rediscover the lyrical, culturally rooted voices of these two underrepresented composers. Through the project Erola will also go on a personal journey exploring her own Spanish and British musical roots. Erola hopes to make expressive, folk-inspired music more accessible to new generations.

We recently caught up with Erola who shared her exciting plans for the summer and beyond and were delighted to hear that her international career is taking a new direction!

If a scholarship from the BritishSpanish Society could help elevate your music career you have until 26 June to apply.
