Churchill College is active in music-making, drama, and the visual arts. Sizarships are available to students to support this.
For any queries relating to College Sizarships, please contact the Tutorial Office
Music Sizarship
The Music Sizar oversees and promotes musical activities in the College and liaises with the Director of Music to arrange concerts. The Sizar organises and chairs meetings of the Music Society Committee and is the point of contact for members of the College wanting to use the Music Centre’s facilities. The Sizar has no formal responsibilities for Chapel music but may nevertheless wish to contribute to it in collaboration with the Organ Scholar (who is elected via the central University scheme). The Music Sizarship comes with an honorarium of £250 and may be held in addition to other music bursaries. The post runs for the calendar year.
Candidates for the Music Sizarship will be interviewed by the Senior Tutor, Director of Music and Director of Studies for Music Auditions in Michaelmas Term.
Applications should be returned to the Tutorial Office. Applications are currently open and the deadline is Sunday 3rd November.

The Sizar will apply to the CCRFCÂ for financial support for theatrical activities.
