This studentship builds upon connections between Bluecoat and the Department of History at the University of Liverpool that date back more than a century. Bluecoat - dedicated in 1717 as the Blue Coat Charity School and, transformed in the early 20C as the UK's first arts centre - is one of the few surviving buildings dating to Liverpool's early 18C commercial expansion and reflects the town's growing self-confidence and the civicmindedness of its mercantile elite. The studentship will use the records of the Blue Coat School, the papers of influential donors, and church and Corporation sources to revisit the history of the building in the first half of the 18C and situate it in emergent urban networks of charity, piety and commerce that put politeness to pragmatic ends. This application generally refers to the building as a single word - 'Bluecoat' - usage adopted when the Blue Coat School moved to larger suburban premises in 1906.

这项奖学金建立在蓝衣学院和利物浦大学历史系之间的联系之上，这种联系可以追溯到一个多世纪以前。“蓝大衣”始建于1717年，当时名为“蓝大衣慈善学校”（Blue Coat Charity School）， 20世纪初转型为英国首个艺术中心。它是利物浦18世纪早期商业扩张时期为数不多的幸存建筑之一，反映了这座城市日益增长的自信和商业精英的公民意识。学生们将利用蓝衣学校的记录、有影响力的捐赠者的论文、教会和公司的资料，重新审视这座建筑在19世纪上半叶的历史，并将其置于新兴的城市慈善、虔诚和商业网络中，这些网络将礼貌与务实相结合。这个申请通常用一个词来指代这座建筑——“蓝大衣”——当蓝大衣学校在1906年搬到更大的郊区时采用了这个词。
