Caird Travelling Music Scholarships are awarded to applicants who are travelling away from their home town to a place of study either in the UK or abroad. The Scholarships are generally for post graduate levels of study for those of outstanding musical ability; or for under graduate studies abroad for those of exceptional talent.
Awards of up to £3,500 can be made. The amount to be awarded is determined mainly in relation to the centre of study chosen and the nature of the work contemplated or the experience to be acquired. Applications to travel abroad will be favourably considered. Please see the Explanatory Memorandum for fuller details of the Scholarships.
The Administrative Note, Application Form and Referee Report Form required to make an application are available from the links from this page, or from Thorntons the Administrators of the Trust. All Applications must be lodged with the Administrators no later than 31 January, 2012. It is important for applicants to ensure that their applications, etc. are lodged as far in advance of that date as is possible as no late Applications will be accepted.
Applicants must have Scottish Nationality, i.e. born in Scotland or one parent or grandparent born in Scotland and evidence of this must be produced to the Administrators.
Auditions will be held in Glasgow and in addition there will be a limited number of auditions held in London but only for those applicants who cannot attend Glasgow.
All applicants must state in their covering letter with their Application Form where they would wish to be auditioned, bearing in mind that no expenses for attending auditions will be met by the Trustees. Those wishing to be auditioned in London must make it clear that they cannot attend Glasgow.
