Support a scholarship

We are committed to attracting and nurturing exceptional musicians from across the globe by removing financial concerns through our scholarship programme.

For many, a scholarship makes the dream of studying at the RCM a reality. More than 50% of current students receive some financial support, thanks to the generosity of individuals, legators, companies and charitable trusts. Your support will provide vital funding to our aspiring young musicians, regardless of their background.

Named scholarships

In acknowledgement of a gift of £10,000 or more, we are pleased to offer a named scholarship in your own name or the name of someone you would like to honour. A donation of £26,000 or more would cover an international full-fees named scholarship for the majority of our programmes. We take great pride in matching named scholarship supporters to the most suitable individual scholars. In recognition of your support, you will be invited to follow your scholar’s journey, attend their performances and other special events, and sent an annual impact report. You will also be acknowledged in your scholar’s biography and in RCM publications, unless you wish to remain anonymous.

How scholarships are awarded

Every student who auditions for a place on one of the RCM's performance or composition courses will be considered for a scholarship or study award. Composers who audition by video interview will also be considered.

Eligibility for scholarships is based on merit, which is determined by performance at audition or the strength of portfolio and interview for composers.

Endowed scholarships

Endowing a scholarship at the RCM creates a lasting legacy and can be established with a gift of £300,000 or more. Scholarships will receive a name of your choosing and are endowed in perpetuity.
