Financial Assistance

Dartington International Summer School is committed to supporting and nurturing deserving musicians of any age at any stage of their musical development.

Bursaries

You don’t have to be a student to apply for a bursary. We welcome applications from deserving musicians from all walks of life, be they students, retired, or on a low-income. Bursaries provide up to 90% of the full cost (fees, accommodation and meals) for participants staying in Foxhole accommodation. The number of awards is limited so please investigate all other funding and sponsorship sources.

Participants with disabilities

In addition to applying for personal bursaries, participants with disabilities can apply for bursaries to help cover the cost of their helpers while at the Summer School. For further information, please contact the Bookings Administrator on +44 [0]1803 847077 or email diss.bookings@dartington.org
