The Choral Scholarship Fund provides scholarships to up to eighteen choristers who sing in Tewkesbury Abbey Schola Cantorum and who are educated at Dean Close Preparatory School.
To encourage children and their parents to accept the commitment of time and discipline which is required to be a member of the Schola Cantorum, the Choral Scholarship Fund provides scholarships which are worth one quarter of each term’s day pupil fees.
In 2013 an endowment grant of £20,000 was made by the Friends of Cathedral Music and a further grant of £20,000 by the Garfield Weston Foundation. The Choral Scholarship Fund is most grateful for this important support.

- The Ouseley Trust
