Durham University - Hatfield Choral Scholarships

Hatfield Choral Scholarships

Singing in the Hatfield College Chapel Choir at the University of Durham in England earns you 116 EUR (£100) per year. Eight of these choir scholarships are awarded each year. The choir is one of the best in Durham and performs regularly at well-known venues, most recently at St Paul’s Cathedral, St George’s Chapel in Windsor and Westminster Abbey. Funding is provided by the Hatfield Trust and the college’s Senior Common Room, which are financed by Hatfield alumni and friends.
