HEZEKIAN WARDWELL – MUSIC FELLOWSHIPS 2009 IN SPAIN
Hezekiah Wardwell Fellowship
Submit an application for a Hezekiah Wardwell Fellowship if you are a young, highly-gifted musician or musicologist from Spain. The Fellowship allows you to pursue further training or advanced studies at a college of music or conservatoire in Germany, mentored by an established music teacher.
Even before you apply to the Humboldt Foundation, please come to an agreement with the college of music of your choice on admission and academic mentoring if you should be accepted.
Spanish musicians and musicologists may apply to the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation directly. The deadline is 10 January each year. The Humboldt Foundation grants up to ten Fellowships annually which are financed from the bequest of Hezekiah C. Wardwell, an American citizen who died in 1964.
Apply: Applications may be sent to the following address at any time:
Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, Selection Department,
Jean-Paul-Str. 12, 53173 Bonn, Germany

Application Deadline: The deadline for applications is 10 January each year.
From the applications submitted, a Selection Committee chooses suitable candidates to be invited to an audition. The candidates will usually receive the relevant notification in mid-May. The audition and subsequent final selection by the Selection Committee take place once a year, usually at the end of May or beginning of June in Madrid.
Even if the Selection Committee approves the application, a Wardwell Fellowship can only be granted if the candidate has binding confirmation of a place at a German college of music, conservatoire or university.
Reviewing the applications takes about five months, from receipt of the application to the Selection Committee decision immediately following the Selection Meeting.
