Wingate Scholarships

Wingate Scholarships are awarded to outstanding individuals who need financial support to undertake pioneering or original work of intellectual, scientific, artistic, social or environmental value, and to exceptionally brilliant musicians for advanced training.



These scholarships facilitate with the costs of a definite plan which may last up to 3 years. The normal total award is about £6,500 and the highest in any one year is £10,000.
