Music Scholarships for University of Leicester students

Delivered by Attenborough Arts Centre
Music Scholarships of £500 are available for the 2023/24 academic year to cover the cost of music lessons for student musicians who are studying an undergraduate or postgraduate degree in any subject. Music Scholarships support students with opportunities to further develop their music-making which brings educational, social and wellbeing benefits and contributes to our university community. Music Scholarships are delivered by Attenborough Arts Centre and Paul Jenkins, Honorary Director of Student Music and generously supported by the University of Leicester Greatest Need Fund and John Flynn (BSc Physics with Astrophysics 1982).
Applications for 2023/24 are now closed.
