Grants & Scholarships

Friedrich Gulda School of Music Scholarship

During the admission examination, the examination committee decides whether the candidate can also be recommended for a scholarship. The examination committee assesses based on the submitted documents and an excellent performance in the admission examination. Scholarships can, depending on the decision of the committee, amount to 10%, 25%, or 50% of the tuition fee.

With very good academic success, the honored student can annually apply for an extension of the scholarship. This application must be made in writing and within the deadline.
