Minister for Education and Youth Helen McEntee has announced 37 organisations who will receive a grant through the Non-Mainstream Music Education Bursary Scheme 2025.
The Non-Mainstream Music Education Bursary scheme provides a small cash grant to support music education and music initiatives to support and cultivate the talent of young musicians. The organisations, groups and individuals involved provide year-round non-mainstream access to a variety of local music education experiences for young people and children.
Minister McEntee said:
“It is so important that our young people can access opportunities which allow them to express themselves, nurture their creativity and skills and support their wellbeing and ability to make friends. This is why I am delighted to offer this bursary which will help nurture our talented young musicians at a local level and support many wonderful music initiatives across the country”
