Application details

Your letter of application should be contained in a portfolio. This should indicate an ability and readiness to present yourself effectively as an emerging professional. We strongly recommend that applications be presented in the format we have described.

You should indicate for which of the Junior Fellowships you wish to be considered:

  • Junior Fellowships in Piano Accompaniment
  • Richard Carne Junior Fellowship for Chamber Music with Piano
  • Junior Fellowships for students registered on the Artist Diploma programme

When preparing your budget you should show your planned activities both personally and professionally. It is not a finalised statement, but rather a plan of what would be desirable. It should reflect in financial terms your proposal for a programme of personal study. It is a condition of the scheme that at least half the value of the bursary should be used to fund further study.

Your budget should show how you expect to contribute personally to your costs for the year. Bursaries are intended to supplement, not to replace, contributions from your own resources.

Should you be selected for the second stage, you should be prepared to discuss your application in further detail at interview. You are advised to keep a copy of whatever you submit.
