CONTENT COURTESY UNIVERSITY OF MELBOURNE
Australia’s finest young violinists will once again compete for a total prize pool of $55,000 in the country’s most generous violin scholarship, the University of Melbourne’s Dorcas McClean Travelling Scholarship.
This scholarship, Australia’s top bursary prize for young violinists, supports the education and training of outstanding musicians through the provision of travelling scholarships.
A first prize of $40,000 is awarded to the winner, enabling the recipient to pursue further overseas studies at leading conservatories worldwide. Second and third place receive $10,000 and $5,000 respectively.
Entrants, judged by a panel of prominent international violinists, will perform in two free public concerts in the stunning surrounds of The Ian Potter Southbank Centre in late January and early February 2025.
Open to violinists aged between 17 and 25 years of age who have been residents of Australia in the two years preceding the competition date. Applications close on 12 August 2024.
