Recognising the challenges that local music students face compared with their metropolitan counterparts, the Eurobodalla St Cecilia Youth Music Scholarship Association was formed in 1995 to provide financial assistance to young musicians in the South Coast.
Every year auditions, with an independent adjudicator, are held for students from 8 to 18 years of age and twelve scholarships are awarded ranging from $200 to $1000.Following the auditions an award winners' concert is held in November as close as possible to St Cecilia's (the Patron Saint of Music) Day. A $1000 tertiary scholarship is also available to St Cecilia students who progress to study music at tertiary level.
This year marks the 27th year of Scholarships but unfortunately the scholarships are in serious danger of not continuing. The small, friendly committee that runs the Scholarships each year is in need of more members and also a President to lead the group. Why not join us in this needed and successful endeavour?
