York Minster Scholarships
York Minster offers scholarships lasting 12 months or longer to both undergraduate and postgraduate students. Their current value is £4,000. Choral Scholarships are offered to men only (male altos, tenors and basses); they become available as vacancies occur and therefore irregularly according to the duration of student courses. The scholarships are available to any students registered at, or applying to, the university (i.e. not only to music students).
Sir Thomas Beecham Scholarship
This is a competitive entrance award for performance, worth 250 pounds per year for three years. Preference will be given to those playing the less usual orchestral instruments. Selection is made prior to the start of your first academic year. You do not need to apply for this scholarship: all candidates are considered. Please note that the award is not available to singers.
York is the perfect environment to explore and grow for three years, both musically and personally. Performance, academia and composition are all equally valued. There are endless amounts of singing opportunities if you wish to make the most of your time here.
