The Inverurie Music Award Scheme for young musicians launched in 2019 to mark the 20th anniversary of Inverurie Music. The scheme aims to help young musicians at four local schools with their musical activities. The scheme runs annually, opening in September, when students from Alford, Inverurie, Kemnay and Meldrum Academies are invited to apply for funding of up to £200. Each year awards are given, for example, to contribute to the purchase or instruments, to buy music books, to help pay for exam fees and for many other purposes. The award scheme fund is generated by fundraising events and from donations from our generous supporters.

Applications for awards in 2026 are now being accepted. The application window closes on 10 November and award decisions will be made by the end of the year.

If you attend one of the eligible schools (Alford, Inverurie, Kemnay and Meldrum Academies) and would like to apply, please complete this form and return it by email to inveruriemusic@gmail.com or to Inverurie Music c/o Benview Cottage, Chapel of Garioch AB51 5HE.
