Music education grant
Directly regulate
What is it?
The municipality would like to give children a chance to learn to play a musical instrument. That is why the municipality subsidizes part of the cost of music lessons. Taking singing lessons is also covered.
Amount of the grant
All children who live in Son en Breugel and are at least 6 years old and not yet 18 years old on August 1, 2024, may qualify for a contribution to the cost of music education for the course year 2024-2025. The municipality gives a subsidy of 50% of the tuition fee, with a maximum of € 402.00 per course year per music student. The municipality gives a subsidy for individual lessons and/or group lessons. For group lessons, the group must consist of a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 6 people. Both courses consist of a minimum of 10 lessons and the lessons must be taken at a recognized music teacher or music school. Provided the maximum subsidy amount per music student per course year has not yet been exceeded you can apply for a subsidy for several (music) courses.
In certain cases students aged 18 to 21 can also qualify for an allowance in the costs.
You can read more about this in the Subsidy Scheme for Music Education.
