The Junior Choral Scholarship Scheme is designed for talented and passionate 6th Form Students who wish to develop their singing in a liturgical setting by joining a high-quality and friendly choir. Junior Choral Scholarships are designed to be supportive and nurturing. Junior Choral Scholars will receive guidance and mentorship from both the Choral Scholars and the Director of Music throughout their tenure. The Director of Music and Choral Scholars will be on hand throughout the year to answer any questions you may have about taking your singing further, either at university, conservatoire, or in other liturgical settings. The role also presents a fantastic opportunity to connect with peers who share similar interests.

​

For the right candidate there may also be the possibility of an Organ Scholarship under similar terms. If you would like to discuss this further, please do contact us.

​

Junior Choral Scholarships are worth £750/year. This will be paid in three equal instalments in December, April and July.
