Bursaries for Music Lessons at UCM
Bursaries are open to applicants for 30 minute lessons on any instrument or for some group classes.
Any young musicians on free school dinners would be eligible for one of our bursaries. The Trustees reserve the right to consider applications from others in exceptional circumstances. The successful student receives a bursary to cover half the cost of lesson for one year. This may be renewed subject to the financial situation of the College. The deposit of £28 for individual lessons is payable at the end of the first term of lessons. Bursaries are reviewed each term, to ensure the following conditions are met:
- The student has not missed any lessons without an acceptable reason, nor without the College being notified 24 hours in advance or as soon as possible.
- The student has worked hard and made progress. A report from the tutor is required.
- Evidence of financial need (eligibility for free school meals) is presented once a year.
Application forms for bursaries can be found under fees and registration. Applications can be made by email, post or in person in the office. A registration form needs to be filled in online. An interview and/or audition will be required.
Additional Bursaries
Bursaries to cover the full cost of 30 minute individual lessons and help with purchasing instruments are available for refugee children whose music education has been disrupted by wars.
