SENIOR SCHOLARSHIPS
The Senior Scholars Programme, supported by the KM Foundation, offers tailored grants and bespoke development opportunities to advanced players, aged 15–18, aspiring to study music at higher education or conservatoire.
The award includes funding for the student’s music education needs, including tuition, audition fees, instruments, masterclasses, performances, visits to music colleges, and mentoring opportunities.
In 2025, this programme expanded to welcome five students from the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire.

The LMF has been a wonderful part of my daughter’s musical journey. From auditioning in front of an AI panel at the Royal College of Music to visiting the Magic Classical radio studio and joining a youth forum, she’s had some truly special experiences.
Most of all, LMF has been a fabulous support alongside her music education, enriching her life and ours as parents in so many ways.Parent of Iris, Senior Scholar
