West Wight Arts Association Bursary
West Wight Arts Association has a long tradition of promoting promising young musicians through our bursary scheme which we run every two years. The next one will be held in 2026.
To encourage talented and aspiring local music students who would welcome financial support to further their studies, a sum is set aside every two years to provide bursaries for young Islanders aged between 11 and 21 years at the time of auditioning.
Applicants must be resident on the Island.
Applicants must be aged between 11 and 21 at the time of the audition.
Anyone who has received a bursary award in previous years is not eligible to apply again.
All applications will be considered and shortlisted by West Wight Arts Association Trustees, and successful candidates will be invited to audition.
All final decisions will be made by the Trustees.
“We aim to encourage talented young music students who aspire to the excellence of the young concert artists who perform for us, but who need some financial support to further their studies”
