The Joan Trimble Bursary Awards are administered by Fermanagh Trust and support young people to develop their skills and experience in creative and performing arts and Irish culture. The bursaries are designed to help individuals access opportunities that strengthen their training, education and practical experience in these fields.
Funding can be used for specialist education training sessions and courses, international cultural programmes, masterclasses and summer schools. The awards are intended for individuals who want to progress their artistic development through practical, high-quality opportunities, including music, performance and related cultural activities.
Applicants must have a connection to Fermanagh through residence or education, and applications are assessed for individual support rather than group activity. Successful applicants may apply again after 12 months, and bursaries of up to £1,000 per academic year are available.
