APPLICATIONS FOR 2024 SCHOLARS CLOSE FRIDAY 15 MARCH
​
Wesley Music Scholars program is designed to provide talented musicians with the opportunity to pursue their passion for music and receive financial assistance towards their education and expenses. Our scholars also get access to our prestigious Music Centre for their own performances, and a highly supportive and positive environment. As a part of the program, our scholars become a group of peer musicians who support and work with each other, fostering a collaborative and inspiring music community.

The Wesley Music Scholars program is open to full-time tertiary students (music and non-music majors) who can demonstrate great potential as a vocalist or instrumentalist and can benefit from opportunities to practice, perform, make recordings as a soloist or in ensemble in the unique spaces and facilities of the Wesley Music Centre and Wesley Uniting Church.
