Here are this year's scholarship recipients

All applicants for this year's TONO scholarship and Young Talents scholarship have today been informed by email about the result of the scholarship processing.

The scholarship committee has now completed its work, and today all applicants will receive information by email whether they have been awarded a scholarship or not. 367 applicants have been awarded TONO scholarships this year, while 174 applicants have been granted Young Talent scholarships, a total of 541 applicants. The scholarships will be paid out on 23 May 2017.

In its assessment of the applications, the scholarship committee has based its assessment on the following: criteria which is described on tono.no, and which was informed about in the scholarship announcement.

The TONO scholarship
Scholarships are awarded under the ordinary TONO scholarship at three main levels, respectively: kr 100,000 kr 50,000 and kr 25,000. After specific assessments, grant amounts other than the main amounts were granted for some individual applications where the application project was judged to be similar. These had not initially applied jointly, but it seemed natural to process them together, as the projects were the same.

The following number of scholarships will be awarded in 2017 at the various levels:

9 scholarships each kr 100,000 = 900,000
42 scholarships each kr 50,000 = 2,100,000
307 scholarships each kr 25,000 = 7,675,000
9 scholarships each kr 10,000 = 90,000
367 scholarships total = 10,765,000

Young talents
This year, a total of kr 1,182,500,- under the Young Talents scholarship scheme, of which kr 600,000 has been allocated by the group associations NOPA and NKF in a ratio of 60/40. The amount is distributed at three levels:

27 scholarships each kr 10,000 =       kr 270,000
71 scholarships each kr 7,500 =       kr 532,500
76 scholarships each kr 5,000 =       kr 380,000
174 scholarships total =       kr 1 182 500

The committee consisted of Svein Dag Hauge and Rita Eriksen from NOPA, Stine Sørlie and David Bratlie from NKF, Solveig Slettahjell (free position/NOPA) and Alexander Rishaug (free position/unaffiliated), as well as Steinar Fjeld from Musikkforleggerne.

The scholarship committee's decision may be appealed to the TONO board within three weeks of notification of the decision to the applicant. The right to appeal only applies to the case processing, not the committee's discretion.
