What the charity does
The Trust aims to provide grants to help aspiring professional organists. Preference will be given to students seeking assistance towards special projects, rather than continuing academic tuition. The Flentrop scholarship awarded annually allows a student to spend two weeks in Holland with Flentrop, organ builders. The ETT Annual Award funds a candidate in a project related to the organ.
