THE NANCY WEIR SCHOLARSHIP

FOR ALL INSTRUMENTS

(Applications close on Friday 5th August 2011)

 The above fund was established in 1979 in recognition of the contribution by Dr Nancy Weir to music and in particular, her work as a performer and teacher.  The purpose of the fund is to assist young children, aged 12 years or under, residing outside the Brisbane Metropolitan area and exhibiting outstanding musical talent, to pursue their musical studies.

 Whilst assistance may be granted towards the cost of tuition fees, assistance may also, in some cases, be granted to assist with travel expenses or other costs associated with involvement with or participation in musical experiences such as Eisteddfodau, music festivals, auditions or workshops.  Such experiences should take place outside the greater Brisbane area.

 Applications for the Nancy Weir Scholarship close on 5th August 2011.  To make application, please complete the form below, forward it, together with a quality DVD of at least 6 minutes duration (to confirm level of expertise), and an accompanying letter to support your application to:
