The LICCC Forge Bursary Fund is administered by the London International Choral Conducting Competition (LICCC) and supported by a grant from the D’Oyly Carte Charitable Trust.

The LICCC Forge Bursary Fund supports conductors that are living or studying in the UK who have been accepted onto the Forge Programme but need financial assistance to take up their place. Each bursary provides up to £1,500 contribution toward participation costs.

Awards are competitive and based on both financial need and artistic potential. Applications are considered on a rolling basis for all 2026 Forge courses, so early application is recommended. 

Please complete the following form. Incomplete applications cannot be considered.
