2023 Scholarships

Hume Conservatorium offers annual scholarships to young musicians in the local community. The program is open to any musician regardless of whether they are students of Hume Conservatorium at the time of audition or not. It is policy of Hume Conservatorium that scholarships will be awarded to the students who, in the view of the conservatorium, are most likely to benefit  from the scholarship grant.  The quality of performance on the day of audition is a major factor in this decision, but not the sole factor. All styles of music are acceptable when applying for a scholarship.
Hume Conservatorium is very fortunate to have a number of local and regional organisations and individuals who support our Annual Scholarship Program. The purpose of the scholarships is to encourage and accelerate the musical development of students with potential, equipping them for further study at an advanced level.
Scholarships will be awarded in six categories –
Junior – Grade 3 and below
Senior – Grade 4 and above
Mature Age – For any student aged 21 and over
Baldsing Jazz Scholarship – students under 25 years of age studying in a jazz genre
Missing instruments fund
The scholarships awarded in these categories may change each year, dependent on donor support. Upon receipt of a scholarship, winners are required to have lessons with the most appropriate Hume Conservatorium tutor as decided by the CEO.  Scholarship winners are encouraged to write a letter of thanks to their sponsor (if appropriate) and to send a report of their activities at the completion of their scholarship year.
