Paul Robeson Scholarship
A scholarship that places students at the heart of invigorating music education through EDI.
Drawing upon the school’s strong relationship with the Paul Robeson Wales Trust, the scholarship builds from the example of Robeson – an African American singer, actor, and civil rights activist who supported the miners of South Wales during their post-war years of hardship – to promote the life-changing potential of studying and working in music. It aims to develop the legacy of Robeson, as preserved in the Trust, through funding students to give talks, workshops, performances, and compositions.
First-year undergraduates successful in their application then undertake a scholarship for a year and one semester and funded by the Paul Robeson Wales Trust.
Aims of the scholarship:
- Promote Paul Robeson and the work of the Trust within the School of Music and university.
- Sustain and develop the commitment of the School to pursuing EDI objectives in its curriculum and public events (e.g., talks, workshops, and concerts).
- Create a core of ambassador students that can undertake work within the school, in local communities, and partner universities overseas.
