Apply for grants

We currently give £4,000 in MA Bursaries to each of the 8 UK training courses: Anglia Ruskin University Apply to your course leader at the beginning of the academic year. We would like to remind students that recipients are requested to send a brief report or video at the end of the academic year to the charity detailing their progress and how the grant has assisted them, in a format that is suitable for publication on our website. We hope that these grants can continue to be of some small support towards the financial challenges faced when training.

Twice a year The Music Therapy Charity invites proposals from music therapists (including research students) to support research. Grants may be made to help with such costs as part-time salary for fixed periods, academic or clinical supervision, and collection and analysis of data. For further information click here.

We aim to hold a competition for funds (not to exceed £17k) for a scoping project every 2 years. By “scoping project” we mean project proposals likely to result in large-scale consortial bids for funding to national or international research bodies to investigate crucial and underdeveloped aspects of – or fields in – music therapy research. Please sign up to our database if you would like to receive details when the next competition is announced. To sign up please click here.
