The Music Centre offers two types of financial assistance to talented students at the University. There is no music degree at Warwick and hence, these awards are open to all students from all disciplines. The two different types are:

Bursaries

Bursaries are available on a yearly basis, providing financial help towards music lessons. The auditions take place in the first few weeks of the Autumn Term, after you arrive at Warwick and various levels of financial aid are available. The audition consists of:

• Performance (2 contrasting pieces totalling approximately 8 minutes)
• Short interview to determine potential and likely contribution to the Music Centre

For more information, please feel free to contact us.

Scholarships 2012/2013 information

Music Scholarship important information: We are unable to run the external scholarships this academic year and so ALL scholarships will be auditioned in October 2012, for both incoming students and existing students. Applications will be accepted from the beginning of September 2012 and forms will be available online from 1st September. Any full time undergraduate can apply for these.

Music Scholarship holders are expected to contribute heavily to the musical life of the campus. Scholarships are only given to students with exceptional musical ability so scholars will have a role of playing to a high standard and inspiring the students they play alongside in their music-making. We also encourage scholars to take advantage of the excellent music tutors who work here. The Keyboard Accompaniment Scholar may be required to play for weekly Chamber Choir rehearsals and to be available to accompany other groups as designated by the Director of Music.

Auditions for the Internal Scholarships run alongside the Bursary auditions and a referee is required to provide feedback and comment on the auditionee.
