CORONAVIRUS BURSARY Scheme for Lessons

Bursary

Durham Music Trust has created a BURSARY for families that are experiencing financial difficulties due to Coronavirus.

This bursary will pay for lessons for any pupil to continue to learn with DMS. We are keen to support as many pupils as possible but we will have to ensure that the money is used to support those in most need at this time.
