Each year the Royal Academy of Music awards four ABRSM (Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music) scholarships on the basis of merit for candidates who audition at our December session in London. There are two awards for international-fee students and two for UK/EU-fee students: one for undergraduate study and one for postgraduate study in each case.

No separate application process to the ABRSM is necessary. Candidates are considered automatically by the Royal Academy of Music’s Admissions Board following the auditions, and recommendations are then made directly to the ABRSM.

The international scholarships cover full tuition fees and a generous maintenance award for the duration of both undergraduate and postgraduate study, plus the cost of a flight home.

The UK/EU (Home fee) scholarships cover full tuition fees for postgraduate study, and £3000 towards annual fees for the duration of undergraduate study.
