EDWARD
LONG SCHOLARSHIPS FOR MUSIC.
A Capital Fund having been set up by Mr. Edward A. Long, and vested in the Governors of St. Peter's School as Trustees, for the purpose of providing income to finance Scholarships in Music in St. Peter's School, the scheme described herein has been drawn up by the Governors in consultation with the Founder. 1. One Scholarship shall be awarded annually, to be called the " Edward Long Scholarship for Music." 2. The Scholarship shall be of a normal value £15 (Fifteen Pounds) per annum, and shall be awarded for three years in the first instance, though this period may be extended at the discretion of the Governors. 3. The award shall be made by nomination each year, in March, 'to a 'boy from the Minster Choir School. If in any year a suitable Minster 'Chorister is not available, the income so retained may be placed to the Capital of the Fund, or used for the award of a Special Edward Long Scholarship to a candidate from elsewhere, or used at the discretion of the Governors for augmenting an existing Music Scholarship, or for providing two Scholarships in a subsequent year. 4. In making the awards, the musical assessors shall be the Organist of the Minster and the Director of Music at St. Peter's School, and the scholastic assessors the Dean of York, the Head Master of St. Peter's School, and the Master of the Choir School. While awards will be made primarily on musical ability, the scholastic assessors must satisfy themselves that candidates recommended by the musical assessors have reached a sufficient scholastic standard. Awards shall only be made to boys whose parents have, 5. at the time of the award, the honest intention of leaving their boys at St. Peter's School up to the age of 18 years. 6. Edward Long Scholars will not be required to pay the usual extra charges for any music tuition. 7. The Governors of St. Peter's School reserve the right to revise this scheme, provided that the intentions of the Founder for the promotion of music in the School, and the assisting of Minster Choristers are respected. 7
