Applications for the Music Publishers Association's 2016 Richard Toeman Scholarship Scheme are now open.
Set up in 2006, the initiative offers two individuals an opportunity each year to benefit from a tailor-made support package to advance their music publishing careers.
Applicants need to have less than five years’ experience in the business and be either a final year student or recent graduate.
The scholarship offers free entry to MPA training and professional development courses, networking opportunities at MPA social events and, for final year students or recent graduates, assistance in securing a relevant work placement.
The two winning applicants will also receive £500 towards further training and professional career coaching of their choice.
Claire McAuley, MPA general manager, said: ‘Over the past ten years, the Richard Toeman Scholarship has gained a deserved reputation for fast tracking the careers of talented young people, boosting the skills, knowledge and contacts that will help them thrive in the music publishing sector. Last year the standard of applications was extremely high, and we look forward to hearing from the students, graduates and employees that represent the future of our business.’
Visit the MPA website to find out more. The deadline for applications is Monday 25 April.
The two successful applicants will be announced at the MPA AGM in June 2016.
The scholarship is named in memory of Richard Toeman who died suddenly in March 2005 following a successful 40-year career at Josef Weinberger.
