International Conductor Scholarship Program
The WASBE International Conductor Scholarship Program assists conductors
in studying at a conducting workshop in a country other than their own. This
exchange not only adds to the participant's musical development but enables
all of the participating conductors to develop a greater understanding and
appreciation
of the musical life of other cultures. The scholarships, which are offered
by the participating conducting workshops, include the costs for tuition and
often room
and board as well.
The main application period each year is in March and April, but other opportunities sometimes arise during the year. Such opportunities are posted to this page (and are usually published in the WASBE Newsletter as well).
Eligibility
Any current member of WASBE.
To Apply
Complete the application form [PDF; 110K] and submit it to the address below (deadline dates vary depending on when the workshop is held). Of the 2008 workshops listed, only the CSU workshop in November is still accepting applications.
Additional Information
If you have questions, require further information about the WASBE International Conductor Scholarship Program, or wish to offer a scholarship for your workshop, you may contact the chair
of the Conductor Development Committee by e-mail or fax.
