Awards for Young Musicians supports the UK’s most talented young musicians (aged 5 to 18), who, because of financial need, may be prevented from fulfilling their creative potential. Each year awards of between £200 and £2000 are made, based on evidence of musical talent and financial need.

Awards are given to help with:
- the purchase or hire of musical instruments and accessories
- music lessons
- weekend music schools
- music courses
- orchestra fees
- travel

Applicants are required to: have achieved distinction in their last music exam, or, if they haven’t taken exams, show evidence of this level of ability; be recommended by their music teacher; have their families show evidence of financial need.
