Requirements

This scholarship is available to prospective students of the University of Cambridge. Applicants for an Organ Scholarship must complete a Cambridge Online Preliminary Application (COPA), as well as a UCAS application. Applications for Organ Scholarships should be accompanied by a declaration of musical ability. Musical referees (usually a music teacher at school or an external coach) are required to send their reference to the applicant's first-choice College both as an electronic email attachment and as a 'hard' copy (with an original signature); the reference should describe the applicant's musical ability and fitness to hold an Organ Scholarship.
