    MEANS TESTING
    AYM means tests all applications: during this process we use income thresholds similar to those of the Music and Dance Scheme www.dcsf.gov.uk/mds/national_grants. Ultimately however our Adjudication Panel makes their decisions according to which young musicians, in their view, are the most talented and the most in need of help.
