Choral Scholarships

The Choral Scholarships at Exeter Cathedral (two each of counter-tenor or contralto, tenor and bass) are either held in conjunction with degree courses at Exeter University, (any subject, provided that lecture times do not clash seriously with choir commitments), or are offered to ‘gap’ students for either one or two years immediately before or after full-time tertiary study. The Choral Scholarships offer experience of singing daily in the Exeter Cathedral Choir alongside the six Lay Vicars. Former choral scholars have gone on to positions at some of the country’s major foundations.

We accept applications for Choral Scholarships throughout the year.
