Bursary Guidance
Bursaries are awarded to families with a total taxable household income of £50,000 or below on a first come first served basis, so we encourage all students to apply as soon as they can.
Although not guaranteed, we may be able to offer new/additional bursaries during the year, so please apply if your circumstances change.
Our Bursary Supporters
We would like to say a special thank you to the Leeds Music Education Partnership, Leverhulme Trust, Wolfson Foundation, Other Public Charitable Donations and Leeds Conservatoire's Access Agreement for awarding funding for families with a total household taxable income below £50,000.
