About the scholarship
The Fehl Music Scholarship supports current second and third-year Music students at Te Herenga Waka–Victoria University of Wellington who are studying towards a New Zealand School of Music (NZSM) undergraduate degree. This scholarship is designed to help support deserving NZSM undergraduate students who are in financial need. The scholarship will be awarded by Victoria University of Wellington upon the recommendation of a selection committee comprising of the Head of NZSM (or nominee), one member of academic staff from NZSM, as appointed by the Head of School, and one representative of the Fehl Trust.
