Thrilled to announce the 2018 JMC/APRA AMCOS scholarship round is open now. Study at JMC Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane FREE! Remember this is not an 'open market' scholarship opportunity: it's exclusively for SongMakers alums (any student who has completed a SongMakers workshop at their school, any year since we started) who want to take their music study to the next level. And there are 3 available. Go for it! Last year's winners, Isaac and Marnie, are glad they did. Application deadline is 15 Dec so plenty of time to get demos together...
