Scholarships of the Carl Bechstein Foundation

Every three years, the Carl Bechstein Foundation awards four outstanding young pianists from age group III of the national competition "Jugend musiziert" with a multi-year scholarship. Nationwide supported individuals receive financial assistance in the form of regular scholarship payments over a period of up to 36 months. The focus is on the exceptional musical achievement in the competition as well as the individual talent potential of the awardees. Through targeted support in the areas of music, education and training, as well as culture & media, the foundation enables the sustainable accompaniment and development of the artistic careers of talented young musicians.

Interested young pianists who have received an award in age group III of the national competition "Jugend musiziert" can automatically qualify for the selection round. The jury's decision is based on the performance delivered in the competition and the demonstrated potential for solo and artistic development. The call for applications and all relevant dates follow the schedule of the national competition and are announced on the competition's website. This award not only provides financial relief but also valuable recognition for the further musical path of the recipients. Interested parties can obtain detailed information on procedures and modalities within the framework of the "Jugend musiziert" competition.
