Judith Clark Memorial Fellowship

 The Judith Clark Memorial Fellowship is to help music graduates undertake a special short-term project that will have long-term benefits for their future professional careers as musicians.

Projects that will be considered by the selection committee include attendance at a reputable summer school or summer academy or auditions for a longer-term postgraduate study programme.

The selection committee will consider applications for other short-term projects and will assess them on their merits.
