Bursaries & Scholarships
Thanks to the generosity of LAMP’s private donors and corporate funders, LAMP has bursary options available to assist gifted young artists in need of financial aid to help cover the cost of attending Lamp. Bursaries are typically awarded to cover up to 50% of your tuition and do not assist with travel and/or accommodation.
LAMP Tuition Booster
LAMP’s Tuition Booster has a maximum value of up to $500 and is intended for artists applying to take part in one of LAMP’s shorter academies (one to two week). Typically artists can expect to receive up to 50% of their tuition.
Gifted Young Artist Bursary
The Gifted Young Artist Bursary is a bursary of up to $1,000 awarded to deserving applicants who will be participating in a two-week or longer period of study at LAMP. Typically artists can expect to receive up to 50% of their tuition.
LAMP Scholars
Emerging Artist in Residence (EAR) Bursaries are awarded to exceptional young musicians with financial need coming to LAMP for an 8-16 week residency program designed to expand the artistic and entrepreneurial horizons of post-graduate musicians, preparing them for successful and fulfilling careers. These scholarships can help with travel, tuition and accommodation costs.
LAMP Fellowship Programme
LAMP Fellows are the Elite of the Elite, and provide full funding that covers tuition and includes a weekly stipend to assist with both living, housing & travel costs for LAMP residencies. For more information and to see which fellowships are available this year, please visit our residency page. To qualify for this extraordinary programme, applicants must have completed their formal studies at Universities and/or Conservatories.
Other Potential Sources of Funding
We have compiled a list of additional Canadian organizations which may be able to assist with funding your tuition, travel and/or living costs while attending LAMP. We also suggest you contact your provincial and/or municipal arts councils directly for any assistance or advice they might have.
For those outside Canada, there are likely similar assistance programs where you live.
