Does anyone know about scholarships specifically for international students interested in music production? I'm passionate about music and looking for ways to fund my studies abroad. Any recommendations would be awesome!
Universities and conservatories around the world offer scholarships to meritorious students. A lot depends on the institution you're applying to since many music scholarships are school-specific.
One notable scholarship is the 'Berklee International Grant' at Berklee College of Music. This is a need-based grant that is available for students from countries outside the U.S. It's designed to help supplement other financial sources.
Another scholarship worth exploring is the 'Star Scholarship' at the Academy of Contemporary Music in the UK. They've specifically structured this for students who display excellence in music skills, including shared awards for those interested in music production.
Then there's the 'Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy Charity Scholarship' at the London College of Music, UWL. This scholarship targets international students who have accepted a full-time place in any music course, including music production.
Finally, on top of institutional scholarships, some countries offer scholarships for international students. For instance, in Canada, there's the 'Canada Graduate Scholarships – Master’s Program' that is open to international students entering a full-time music program.
Remember, the examples listed here are just a starting point. You'll want to research each school that you're interested in and get in touch with their financial aid offices to explore all your options. Also, look for scholarships in your home country that support students studying abroad. Good luck with your scholarship hunt and your music production journey!
