More about us
Awards for Young Musicians (AYM) is a registered charity; we assist musically gifted children (aged 5 - 18) by giving them financial awards, to help them develop their potential.
We make awards to help with:
the purchase or hire of musical instruments and accessories
music lessons
weekend music schools
music courses
orchestra fees
travel
Applicants are required to:
have achieved distinction in their last music exam, or, if they haven’t taken exams,
show evidence of this level of ability
be recommended by their music teacher
have their families show evidence of financial need
It is important that applicants show real talent, as well as a passion for music and a willingness to help themselves.
An adjudication procedure takes place in the spring of each year and awards are made in June. Our application form is available from this website during October; completed applications for the 2008 awards (including teachers' references) had to be received by 4th April 2008. Successful applicants have all been informed. Before filling in an application form, please read the Guidelines for Applicants.
We know it is difficult for parents to find help with the costs of having a musically gifted child; so we also provide advice on how to find information about other sources of funding.
