Fees & Bursaries

Every place on a VaCO course is subsidised because we believe that the opportunities we offer should be affordable for all young musicians.  We are hugely grateful to our supporters who make this possible.

Courses are priced individually (see individual courses for details).  In cases of special need, students may apply for a bursary, and scholarships are available at the discretion of the Musical Director for instruments of need.

Bursaries - Applications for a bursary must be made in writing using our bursary form (see below) where we will ask you to summarise your need for a bursary and to give us infromation about any income, funding or grants you currently recieve.  Your teacher will also need to endorse your application. 

Click here for our bursary form which you will need to print and send to us.  To request a hard copy of the form please contact us.

Scholarships - Where we wish to secure a particular student or instrument on a course VaCO has the ability to award scholarships.  These are awarded at the discretion of the Musical Director and cannot be applied for.

We are hugely grateful to our generous supporters who make it possible for us to offer bursaries and scholarships.  If you would like to consider donating to VaCO, which is UK Registered Charity No. 1052313, please contact us or have a look at our supporters page.
