Wollongong Conservatorium of Music is committed to helping young musicians reach their full potential. We award funding to young musicians from any musical genre who demonstrate ability, with a focus on students whose financial circumstances mean they may not be otherwise able to fulfil their musical potential.
Scholarships are awarded for a 12-month period only.
The maximum award available will be 50% of the cost of enrolment in one program. However, all scholarship winners will be expected to enrol in a Conservatorium ensemble where appropriate. If this is an additional enrolment then the scholarship award will also cover 50% of the ensemble fee.
Scholarship winners will be selected on the basis of one or more of the following criteria:
1. Musical ability and potential
2. Financial circumstances. Wollongong Conservatorium of Music does not set a family income limit, as to do so would take no account of an individual family’s circumstances. It is up to the applicant to make a reasonable financial case for support.
3. Other family circumstances
4. References. These will be sought directly from Conservatorium teachers and ensemble directors as required by the selection panel.
Please provide material that will assist the panel to assess the application against all relevant criteria from the list above.
Scholarship winners’ progress will be monitored and evaluated. Further details of this evaluation will be given if a scholarship is awarded.

9. Scholarships may be split between multiple students if the panel cannot choose between them.
