Monica Wills Chapel Organ Scholarship

Information for Candidates

Through the generosity of the Wills Hall Association, an Organ Scholarship is available at The Monica Wills Chapel (situated in the grounds of Wills Hall, one of the University's Halls of Residence on the edge of the Downs).

The annual value of the Scholarship is £750, paid in three termly instalments by bank transfer.

The Scholarship is awarded annually on merit and the award is made irrespective of the religious convictions of the candidate. Familiarity with a broad range of Christian worship styles would be an advantage.

The award may be renewed by mutual agreement (normally for a maximum of two years). Renewal will be conditional on satisfactory academic progress and on the efficient performance of the duties listed below.

Eligibility

Applications for the Wills Hall Organ Scholarship are accepted both from current students of the University of Bristol and from prospective students who have been offered a place to study at the University and have made Bristol their first preference. Where a candidate of suitable merit is identified, the award will normally be made to a student embarking on her/his first year of study.

The award is open to students from all disciplines: it is not a requirement that an applicant be a student of Music.

There is no requirement that applicants be resident in Wills Hall during the tenure of the award, although in the event that candidates of equal merit present themselves, the Trustees may wish to make the award to one who has a current or past association with Wills Hall.
