The Dr R.A.G. Holmes Yass Music Club Scholarship scheme provides financial support to selected music students in the Yass Valley region. The scholarship scheme honours Dr R.A.G. Holmes who was a co-founder of the Yass Music Club and Music Director for 50 years.
To qualify for the scheme, the applicant should be:
- a resident of the Yass Valley region
- in Year 9, 10, 11 or 12
- actively involved in music education.
To receive a scholarship, students must agree to:
- inform the Club how the funds are to be used
- participate in a Gold Coin concert arranged by the Club
- attend a Yass Music Club concert and be presented with a Certificate of Participation
- support Club activities.
Year 9, 10 and 11 students who fulfil all the requirements of the scholarship scheme will progress into the next year of the scholarship. If a student does not comply with the scholarship requirements, future funding may be withdrawn or a new application may be requested for the following year.
The financing of the Yass Music Club scholarship scheme is dependent on the Glenlothian Education Fund, managed by the Rotary Club of Yass, so the amount each student receives may fluctuate.
