Supporting the Arts
The Hamilton-Duval Charitable Trust was established in 2020 in support of the Arts in the United Kingdom.
The Trustees aim to help the students with fees on the last stage of opera studies.
The HD Trust welcomes nominations from institutions, colleges, opera studios or similar organisations in the United Kingdom with recognised relevant expertise. The head of the course representing the recommending institution or organisation must vouch for the competence and skill of those for whom they are applying and state how they were selected. Funding is available for the fees and maintenance grants of the students during their studies.
