The Kathleen and Allison Short Scholarship

The Kathleen and Allison Short Scholarship supports financially disadvantaged students to study piano, violin, viola or cello at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. Established in 2004 from a donation by Allison Louise Larsen, this scholarship assists outstanding students to undertake studies in these instruments. The scholarship value and duration are determined by the Dean of the Sydney Conservatorium of Music and stipulated in the scholarship offer letter to successful recipients. Recipients must maintain satisfactory academic performance and may be required to attend an interview. The scholarship is awarded based on personal statement and demonstrated evidence of disadvantage, with postgraduate research applicants also evaluated on research achievements and potential.
