The Foundation has created vital bursaries at eleven music colleges and conservatoires to assist music students in need of financial support with their tuition fees. The organisations represent a high standard of traditional, classic and modern music study across the UK.

The trustees of the Universal Music UK Sound Foundation have awarded £5000 per college annually as bursaries for music students. We hope to maintain a relationship with every bursary student and follow their continued musical progress beyond study.

The bursaries are distributed at each college’s discretion based on criteria provided by the Foundation. Please contact the college directly if you wish to enquire about our bursary as we do not accept applications for this funding.

Please note that this is the only way students can receive support with tuition fees, regrettably we cannot offer support with tuition fees or living expenses for any other establishments.
