==Mendelssohn Scholarship in Germany==

In Germany, the Mendelssohn Scholarship was established in the 1870s as two awards of 1500 Marks, one for composition and one for performance, for any student of a music school in Germany, and was funded by the [[Prussia]]n state as part of an arrangement under which the [[Mendelssohn family]] donated the composer's manuscripts to the state.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://hv.spk-berlin.de/deutsch/presse/archiv/2006/060115_FMB.pdf |title= Press release on the 2006 prize from the Stiftung PreussischerPreußischer Kulturbesitz |url-status= dead |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20110719084612/http://hv.spk-berlin.de/deutsch/presse/archiv/2006/060115_FMB.pdf |archive-date= 19 July 2011|language=de}}</ref> The first recipient was the composer, [[Engelbert Humperdinck (composer)|Engelbert Humperdinck]], who used it to travel to [[Italy]] in 1879.

Funded by the Jewish Mendelssohn family, the award was discontinued by the [[Nazism|Nazis]] in 1934. It was revived by the Ministry of Culture of the former [[East Germany]] in 1963, in the form of two annual prizes for composition and for performance. It is now awarded by the [[Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation]].
