This year, Nomad Beat is delighted to offer eight bursaries, funding weekly lessons for a period of 44 weeks. Rosalind’s and Sally’s bursaries and the River bursaries are newly available for 2024 and funded by two generous anonymous donors. Application details are below.
Rosalind’s and Sally’s bursaries were created by a couple who wished to remain anonymous, in memory of their daughters Rosalind and Sally, who loved music. Sally’s bursary is specifically for a fiddle student, and Rosalind’s bursary is open to singing and any instruments other than the fiddle that are offered by Nomad Beat.
The six new River bursary places have been established at Nomad Beat through another anonymous donor who was impressed by the work being carried out by Nomad Beat. These bursaries have been named after six Borders’ rivers; Ettrick Water, Leithen Water, Lyne Water, Tweed, Teviot and Yarrow.
The River bursaries are open to students of singing or any instrument currently offered by Nomad Beat. These are not just awards for a student who shows excellence in singing or their chosen instrument, but they can also be awarded to a student who demonstrates hard work and commitment to singing or their chosen instrument. Each bursary can also assist a student who would benefit from some financial help to be able to continue their lessons.
The same conditions apply to each of the bursaries which are open to students of singing or any instrument currently offered by Nomad Beat. To be eligible for one of these bursaries, one or both of the following conditions will be taken into consideration:
