Pamela Jackson Memorial Scholarship in Musical Instrument Research

Awards

The Pamela Jackson Memorial Scholarship in Musical Instrument Research will fund one scholar biennially. The scholarship is available for applicants from the UK or from overseas. These awards will be tenable for one academic year and will cover the cost of your (UK/overseas level) tuition fee with any remaining funds being awarded as a stipend at the UKRI rate (currently £19,237 for full-time students in 2024/2025, pro rata for part time) towards living costs. Pro-rata equivalent for part-time study over 2 years.

All scholarship award holders are expected to be energetic members of our postgraduate community, and will engage with opportunities to present their work to the wider student and staff body during the period covered by their award. Award holders will also engage with the activities of the Friends of St Cecilia's Hall, offering a presentation of their research and/or contributing to the newsletter, ‘Soundboard'.

Only applicants with a confirmed place on the Music MScR degree are eligible to receive this award. Applications will be considered from UK/Overseas applicants wishing to study full-time/part-time learning programmes. Part-time study is not available for overseas applicants.
