Bursaries and Scholarships

Oxford Cello School Bursaries

Every year the Oxford Cello School awards several small bursaries allocated solely on the basis of financial means. We invite students who have already sent an application form to the OCS office to apply for a bursary if they have genuine financial difficulties regarding the payment of fees. To apply for a bursary please tick the appropriate box at the bottom of the application form and a seperate bursary application form will be sent out. Bursaries may be awarded to students on any of our courses except for those on the Alpine Cello Course.


Christopher Bunting Scholarship 

Every year we award one Christopher Bunting Scholarship to a student on the 11 or 8 day Performance Course which is awarded on the basis of technical and musical merit. Auditions for this scholarship will take place during the Performance Course.
