Tuition Grants
The Susanne Beer Cello Corner Foundation provides a limited number of tuition grants (up to £500 per grant) each year to cellists between the ages of 9 & 23, who are of a Grade 5+ standard, who might not otherwise be able to afford to attend lessons or courses. Applications are open to Uk citizens, permanent UK residents and to those with student visa. Successful applicants may reapply in two years. Since 2022, we have given out more than 20 tuition grants!
