The MBF (Musicians Benevolent Fund) Young Talent Awards are an important source of funding for young musicians and are made to those with a high level of musical achievement where there is financial need. Awards are offered to those who will be under 18 years of age on 1st September in the year of application, and to young people who are already 18 for help with instrument purchase.
Awards of between £200 and £1,000 are offered to young instrumentalists towards one of the following:
- the cost of buying an instrument,
- music lessons with a private teacher,
- fees and/ or travel expenses to attend a Saturday music centre.
Awards are also offered to those who are aged 18 and about to enter their first year at university or college. Applications from 18 year olds can only be made for instrument purchase. Applicants should be British or Irish or have been resident in the UK or Ireland for at least 3 years on the closing date.
The closing date for this year has now passed and we are no longer accepting applications. The next application closing date will be in June 2010.
