Mendelssohn grant
The Mendelssohn scholarship was a well-known scholarship from the Ministry of Culture , the German Academy of the Arts and the Association of German Composers and Musicologists of the GDR , which was awarded annually from 1963 as a social recognition for outstanding solo work.
It was considered to be the re-establishment of the Mendelssohn scholarship for talented music students that existed from 1856 to 1934 and had been confiscated by the National Socialists. That functioned as a scholarship abroad, preferably at the Leipzig Conservatory . The banker Ernst von Mendelssohn-Bartholdy financed it. The first scholarship holder was Arthur Sullivan .
