This award enables graduates of Queen's to continue their studies at postgraduate level in composition, music therapy, performance or scholarly research. The students may be registered for study at any recognised institution at home or abroad and the awards may also be held at Queen's.
Recent recipients of May Turtle Awards have held them while studying at Southampton University, King's College London, the City University in London, Roehampton Institute, the Royal Northern College of Music, the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, and the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA.
It is to be used for the purpose of further study of Music at a place approved by the Head of the School of Creative Arts.
The scholarship will be tenable for one year but may be renewed for a second and for a third year.
The scholarship will normally be of the value of up to £1,000 per annum. If the income from the fund permits, more than one scholarship may be awarded in any one year, and additional grants may be made if the Academic Council is satisfied that the acceptance of the scholarship has involved the holder in exceptional expense.
The scholarship will be awarded by the Academic Council on the recommendation of the Head of the School of Music & Sonic Arts.
