Ernest Heine Family Foundation Undergraduate Scholarship

The Ernest Heine Family Foundation Undergraduate Scholarship is valued at $38,000 per annum for up to a maximum of four years to support students from a regional or rural area in Australia to study music at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music at the University of Sydney. Established in 2023, this scholarship aims to make music education accessible to talented students from rural and regional communities who wish to pursue undergraduate coursework degrees in music. The scholarship provides substantial financial support to cover educational expenses, music career development, tuition fees, living costs, and accommodation. Recipients are selected based on academic merit, a personal statement, and an audition or interview. The scholarship requires recipients to maintain a minimum semester average mark (SAM) of 70, submit progress reports every six months, and meet with the grantor annually. The annual payment is made in two equal instalments after the census date of each semester, providing ongoing support throughout the student's undergraduate journey.
