Donor
Friends of the ConservatoriumEstablishment
In the 1990s a group known as the Friends of the Conservatorium set up a fund for the purpose of supporting the pursuit of studies in music. Their intent was to assist aspiring music students with study costs. This group ran a series of fundraising events including a cycle race. Unfortunately their identities are not known today but we honour their vision and passion for music. This fund is now named the Creative Conservatorium Fund. The scholarships described below are specifically for students disadvantaged by distance to assist with the relocation costs of a move to Newcastle to study music.
Applicable to: Commencing, first year, music, regional, rural, relocation.
