Funtington Music Group – Bursary Scheme

The Funtington Music Group, which holds regular concerts in the University of Chichester chapel, has developed a most enjoyable and mutually rewarding relationship with the University.
 
The Robert Headley Fund was created to help students who are preparing for the start of their musical careers.  So far the Fund has awarded over £90,000 as bursaries and prizes for graduate students of Chichester University to help finance their post-graduate studies. In 2017 FMG received a generous legacy from the estate of John and Benea Speir, and FMG’s intention is to use this primarily to fund further bursaries. 
 
To qualify for such awards, students must be on target to successfully complete their UoC BA Music Course and have applied for or been awarded a place on a post-graduate degree course in music performance at a recognised Conservatoire.  
 
Applications should be made by 30th April for courses starting in the autumn of that year.
 
Your application should include:

  • Details of the institution you intend to study at and the course you will study
  • A statement of your achievements to date
  • Your ambitions regarding a future professional performing career, and why FMG should support you
  • A financial statement detailing your course fees and living expenses, together with other sources of income and expenditure
 
Applications for an award should be made to FMG’s University Liaison Committee Member, Professor Laura Ritchie (L.Ritchie@chi.ac.uk) with a copy to FMG’s Treasurer Chris Coote (chris@cootefamily.co.uk). 
 
Successful applicants will be expected to perform at a future FMG benefit concert to raise funds towards further bursaries, on an expenses only basis.
