The award is to be made on the recommendation of the head of the school of Music after consulting with relevant members of staff to a student who has completed at least six months study at the faculty usually taking into account their examination results or other academic assessments. It may be awarded to a student more than once. The value of the award is to be determined by the dean of the faculty on the recommendation of the head of the school of Music provided the value does not exceed the sum of the net annual income and any other unexpended income in the fund.
