Bursaries
The Dartington International Summer School awards a limited number of bursaries to gifted musicians wishing to undertake any of the courses offered. We welcome applications from musicians of all ages, be they students, retired, on a low-income, or facing financial difficulties. Awards can be offered to applicants from any country, and at any stage of their musical development.
Bursaries provide up to 90% of the full cost (fees, accommodation and meals) for students staying in Foxhole accommodation.
The number of awards is limited so please investigate all other funding sources such as your local education authority, college, conservatoire or university. Overseas students should contact their nearest British Council office for help and advice.
Participants with Disabilities
Participants with disabilities can apply for bursaries to support cover the cost of their helpers while at the Summer School. For further information, please call Sam McCaffery on +44 [0]1803 847077 or email s.mcaffery@dartington.org

Tips for bursary applications:
- Start preparing your application early. It may take several weeks for your tutor to write a reference or to make a recording you are happy with.
- Make sure you enclose all the application materials: incomplete applications will not be accepted.
- Check your recording plays back before sending it off.
- Send your application in plenty of time and by recorded delivery: you can track the package online and be sure it has been delivered successfully. Late applications will not be accepted.
- Remember that some application deadlines are earlier than the general bursary deadline, so make sure you have checked the brochure for the correct date.
- Label all application materials clearly with your name and preferred course title.
