SCHOLARSHIPS AND BURSARIES

Stimme, Leib & Seele is committed to providing courses accessible to talented singers of all ages, nationalities and backgrounds - eventually offering fully subsidised courses. For now, all available funding will be distributed via Bursary and Scholarship awards, to assist as many singers as possible to achieve their goals.
​
  • Scholarships are financial awards granted to applicants based on their excellence. 
    • ​Scholarships pay tuition, accommodation and a travel stipend.

  • Bursaries are financial awards given to applicants based on financial need. 

    • ​Bursaries pay a percentage of tuition fees only.

SCHOLARSHIPS

  • STIMME, LEIB & SEELE Scholarships will be awarded to cover ALL COSTS, including international travel, accommodation and tuition fees. Extra opportunities for coaching, lessons, language training and career coaching may be offered at the discretion of the staff.                

  • Scholarship applicants will be divided into Professional & Student categories based on the submitted CVs and assessed accordingly.                

  • Scholarship Applications will be evaluated by a selection of course staff members                

  • Scholarship Finalists will automatically be considered for bursaries (covering a percentage of tuition fees) for their chosen course.                

  • The SLS Development Team aims to raise funds through Trusts and Foundations, individuals, corporate and other supporters to increase the size of the dedicated funding available for scholarships. Fundraising includes initiatives designed to generate named scholarships that may come with specific criteria.            

  • Finalists will be invited to participate in online interviews and further video material may be requested.             

The application deadlines for scholarships are the same as the course application deadlines - please refer to the courses page.
BURSARIES

  • Bursaries pay a percentage of tuition fees only.

  • All bursaries and scholarships are awarded on a discretionary basis and management is free to decide which applicants should receive funding and the amount they should receive.             

  • Management reserves the right to amend the application process and the criteria for eligibility at any time.    

  • Applications are only accepted during advertised date ranges. Applications received outside of the advertised date ranges will not be considered. Incomplete applications will not be considered.             

  • SLS expects that all applicants will have made an attempt to raise funds for the course prior to submitting their application.             

  • Please consider the value of the bursary/scholarship you require in order to attend the course as funding is limited.            

  • You may be offered a lesser bursary than requested in case of high demand for funding.  In this case, there are payment plan options available.            

  • Further information or evidence of financial hardship may be requested before a bursary is awarded.            

  • Submitting references with your application will contribute to the success of your bursary request.            

  • Your selection of video excerpts will influence the outcome of the bursary request.            

  • You may be invited to offer further details in the form of a phone or video interview.
