*   be learning with a Tutor approved by the York Music Hub

*Applicants studying Music at GCSE or A Level, even if they have not yet achieved grade 5, may also be considered.

There will be a maximum of 5 awards at any time, the scheme will last for 12 months in the first instance, with continued funding, up to an additional two years, depending on demonstrated progress.
