Description
The Ulrich-Spörel Foundation awards annual grants of up to €2,000 within the framework of its individual funding program to musically committed children and young people up to the age of 20 from Wiesbaden and the surrounding area. The aim of this funding is to strengthen musical education and support creative projects – ranging from instrumental and vocal lessons to participation in courses, seminars, and competitions, as well as rental and leasing fees for instruments. Applicants must demonstrate their above-average commitment through a specialist pedagogical assessment, audio and video recordings, or awards. For minors, a consent declaration from parents or legal guardians is also required.
The grants from the Ulrich-Spörel Foundation are awarded 100% as non-repayable subsidies and can be used for individual musical projects as well as ongoing lesson costs. Applications can be submitted continuously; follow-up applications are possible after one year. Both the quality of the teaching or project concept and evidence of talent and previous achievements are evaluated. Eligible expenses include tuition fees, seminar and competition costs, as well as instrument rentals. Excluded are, among others, the purchase of instruments, investment grants for sponsoring organizations, and ongoing personnel or rental costs. A formal application with an application form, assessment, proof of recordings, award certificates, and for projects a cost-financing plan and final report, is a prerequisite for selection by the board. There is no legal entitlement to funding.
