Dayas Music Scholarship Fund

The Dayas Music Scholarship fund was formed after Mrs Hayton (née Dayas) left a sum of money in her will to create a music scholarship. The fund enables individuals over 18 years of age to undertake studies or projects in connection with composition, conducting, instrumental performance, singing, music in education and musicology. The scholarship offers grants to support musical tuition, especially for those providing a community benefit, with applications for studies or projects in pianoforte being prioritised. The fund is administered by Hampshire & Isle of Wight Community Foundation and is designed to support flourishing communities by tackling poverty and inequality through music education and development.
