Royal Academy of Music Entrance Scholarships

Royal Academy of Music, United Kingdom

Scholarship overview

Entrance scholarships are merit-based awards made by the Royal Academy of Music to students on degree and diploma courses. Every student who auditions for a degree or diploma is automatically considered, so there is no separate scholarship application.

Awards are decided from the audition assessment, held either live or by video recording. Composers are assessed on the basis of their second-round interview.

Award Information

  • Applicants auditioning for a degree or diploma course are considered automatically.
  • Gap Year and Organ Foundation students are not eligible.
  • Awards range from small contributions to full tuition fees.
  • Most awards help with tuition fees.
  • Undergraduate scholarships for UK students, and EU students eligible for UK student finance, are administered as maintenance awards for living costs and paid through the Student Loans Company system to a UK bank account.
  • On courses longer than one year the award is reviewed each year and depends on satisfactory progression and engagement.
  • Research degree (MPhil/PhD) scholarships cover the standard full-time supervised enrolment period, excluding the writing-up period.
  1. Apply for your course through UCAS Conservatoires.
  2. Attend your audition (live or recorded) or, for composers, the second-round interview.
  3. If successful, the scholarship offer is included in your UCAS Conservatoires offer details.
