Sizarships

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 – the deadline each year is usually mid-October, so please check with them to avoid disappointment.

Applications

Churchill College offers a Theatre Sizarship of £150 per year open to undergraduates or graduate students of the College. The Sizarship is offered for one year from 1st January, with the possibility of extension for one further year.

The Theatre Sizar is expected to foster theatrical life in the College. In doing so, the Sizar will assist those teaching English in the College, and will be assisted by other members of the College. The Sizar will be expected to seek out and encourage theatrical talent in College in all departments of theatre, both technical and performing, to organise rehearsed readings and other activities to do with theatre, such as workshops (for which financial assistance may be available), to liaise with other societies as appropriate, to organise one production a year on the College premises, and to ensure that all activities are adequately publicised to junior and senior members. The Sizar will apply to the CCRFC for financial support for theatrical activities.
