Rockhampton Festival Young Musician Grants Deadline
Thanks to everyone who came to the Rockhampton Festival back in June, we’re delighted to be able to offer our Young Musician Grant scheme again.
Grants of up to £250 are available to support 50% of the cost of music tuition, group music, instrument purchase or rental etc. We will prioritise support local students for whom money is proving a barrier to learning an instrument.
Since the scheme began in 2022, we've awarded nearly £10,000 in grants, to enable over 50 local young people to develop and enjoy their music. The feedback is heart-warming. One recipient told us:
“Your funding has taken a massive pressure off. The children have been putting extra effort into practice and are achieving the praise of their teachers. Music is an amazing outlet for creativity, emotion, communication and joy. It’s so wonderful to hear a child’s skills developing.”
Applying is simple, with a short online form. Applications close on 20th December. Find out more and apply at rockhamptonfestival.org.uk or click the link below.
Save the date for next year’s festival on Saturday 19th June 2027.
If you come along you will make a difference long after the music stops.
