How realistic are your chances?

This scholarship is very specific. It is linked to a library project at a single conservatoire and requires the ability to read and handle old music manuscripts. As a result, the pool of eligible applicants is small; so if you are a music student at the Pollini Conservatoire and meet the requirements, your chances are good. The amount of 700 EUR is modest, which also limits the number of applicants.
