Scholarships and Awards

Music Scholarship

Music Centre Award

We have two schemes providing financial support for talented musicians:

Music Scholarships are open to all new UEA undergraduates (UK and International). You will need to apply and audition for the scholarship in the spring before you come to UEA. You can hold a Music Scholarship for three years and it is worth £1000 per year.

Music Centre Awards are open to all UEA students. The application deadline is in week 2 of the first semester and interviews and auditions will take place in weeks 4 and 5. Awards are made for one year and you can re-apply each year you are a UEA student. They are worth up to £800 per year.

The interview and audition criteria are the same for both schemes. You can only hold an award under one of the schemes at a time.
