The Youth Choir @ St Mary's (Ross-On-Wye)
Eight scholarships are available each academic year, each to the value of £480 per annum. They are awarded to choristers between the ages of 11 and 18 who have passed the RSCM Bronze Award (or grade 3 - any instrument) and have demonstrated dedication and potential.
Scholarships are awarded on an annual basis but the expectation is that they will be renewed subject to ongoing review. Scholarships are given as a reward for hard work but also to provide financial support for music tuition (in any area / instrument) beyond choral scholars’ work at St Marys.
More information and an application form can be found here.
