Applications Open (The Agar Trust)

The Agar Trust is currently accepting applications for financial support for young musicians living in rural Scotland.

For many youngsters in rural Scotland, accessing educational opportunities in music can be a significant challenge as it often requires long travel distances to reach courses beyond their local community.

We can provide financial support to cover the cost of additional travel and subsistence faced by youngsters (8-21) resident in rural Scotland who have demonstrated exceptional music ability or potential, and wish to take up opportunities beyond their local area.

The Agar Trust is currently accepting both individual and group applications, entry deadline, Saturday 28 February 2026.

For more information and to apply, please visit: https://www.agar-trust.org.uk

Location: All Scotland

For further information, please contact the_team@agar-trust.org.uk or visit https://www.agar-trust.org.uk

The deadline is Saturday 28 February 2026 at 17:00.
