We hope you share our vision that our most important investment is supporting the arts, music, education and community by recognising and fostering talent and providing life-changing experiences. MOST has primarily realized this vision through scholarships, prizes, grants, competitions, awards and opportunities. Here are some —
Burger Foundation Scholarship
for students at Tel Aviv University
The Burger Foundation was established by Celia Burger during her lifetime. Mrs Burger wished to assist students who were studying at Tel Aviv University (she was a member of its Board of Governors). She assigned the University a discretion in the allocation of funds to eligible students.
The Burger Foundation provides scholarships for students studying music-related courses at Tel Aviv University.
Chaim Kopilovicius Memorial Scholarship
for students at moriah and masada colleges
The Chaim Kopilovicius Memorial Scholarship was established in 1986 from a bequest in the Will of the late Chaim Kopilovicius ‘to financially assist students attending Moriah War Memorial College, or Masada College ‘.
As at December 2010 over $155,000 has been distributed and in excess of 350 children assisted.
Haas Family Trust Scholarship
for singers, cellists, pianists
Kitty Fischer created the Trust to honour the memory of her parents. During her lifetime, on the recommendations of MOST, the Haas Family Trust supported a wide variety of cultural activities.
The Trust now offers scholarships for singers in the Australian Singing Competition and the Opera Awards, for a cellist in association with the ABC Symphony Australia Young Performers Awards (YPA), and a pianist in association with the Sydney International Piano Competition.
Nelly Apt Scholarship
for singers, instrumentalists, conductors
The Nelly Apt Scholarship was established from a bequest by the late Nelly Apt, who left funds to provide financial assistance for young Australian musicians to study in Israel. Scholarships are administered and offered by MOST in four different areas of achievement: singers, string instrumentalists, conductors and worthy individual projects.
