School of Music
At the beginning of the academic year, all BA and MA students resident in the Basel region may apply to the School of Music for financial assistance with their studies.
The appropriate application form must be requested in person from Lilian Wiesner in Room 4, on the first day of the academic year. It must be completed in full and submitted within a week, also in person, together with a personal letter and copies of current tax documents to prove the income status of the student’s parents.
Only fully completed applications with all necessary additional documents will be considered. The decision of the various committees will be made within roughly two months. As a rule, scholarships are given solely on the basis of the social situation of the applicant. No audition is necessary.
However, scholarships awarded by the School of Music will not suffice to finance all the student’s everyday needs during his or her studies in Basel, not least because the course fees must also be paid from the scholarship monies. Most amounts granted cover only these course fees or a portion thereof.
Besides these applications that may be made to the School of Music, there are also many foundations in Switzerland to which students may apply directly for further scholarships.
