Other eligibility requirements

UEA awards a number of Music Scholarships every year, to new students who show exceptional musical achievement and commitment.

The scholarships are for musicians of any instrument or voice and any style or tradition – including different national traditions. They are intended to encourage recipients to develop their musical and leadership skills and contribute significantly to music at UEA. A high standard of performance is expected, but equally important is a clear commitment to take leading roles in the musical life of the University.

Application is before entry to UEA.

The awards are worth £3,000, payable over three years. The holder is expected to use this money to develop their musical skills and to devote at least part of it to taking lessons for their instrument or voice.

Requirements

In the case of a musician performing in a style or tradition without a formal method of assessment this is particularly important.

Selection basis

Students are shortlisted based on their
