==History==
Shortly after [[Felix Mendelssohn|Mendelssohn]]'s death in 1847, a group of his friends and admirers formed a committee in [[London]] to establish a scholarship to enable musicians to study at the [[University of Music and Theatre Leipzig|Leipzig Conservatoire]], which Mendelssohn had founded in 1843. Their fundraising included a performance of Mendelssohn's ''[[Elijah (oratorio)|Elijah]]'' in 1848, featuring [[Jenny Lind]]. The link between London and [[Leipzig]] fell through, resulting in two Mendelssohn Scholarships.<ref name="Grove">''[[s:Page:A Dictionary of Music and Musicians vol 2.djvu/322|A Dictionary of Music and Musicians]]'' [[George Grove|Sir George Grove]], Vol. 2, London, 1900</ref><ref name="NYT1895">{{cite web|url= https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1895/11/07/106072657.pdf |title=''German Mendelssohn Scholarship'' }}, New York Times, 7 November 1895</ref>
==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 |archiveurlarchive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20110719084612/http://hv.spk-berlin.de/deutsch/presse/archiv/2006/060115_FMB.pdf |archivedatearchive-date= 19 July 2011 |df= dmy-all |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]].

The funds raised at the 1848 concert were invested and allowed to accumulate until 1856, when [[Arthur Sullivan]] was elected as the first scholar. Since then it has been awarded from time to time, administered by the Mendelssohn Scholarship Foundation, which is linked to the [[Royal Academy of Music]]. The foundation was created by a trust deed in 1871. Its trustees include the composers [[Anthony Payne]] and [[Justin Connolly]], and the principal of the Royal Academy of Music, [[Jonathan Freeman-Attwood]]; and its charitable objects are "For the education of musical students of both sexes in pursuance of the intentions of the founders".<ref>[http://www.charity-commission.gov.uk/Showcharity/RegisterOfCharities/CharityFramework.aspx?RegisteredCharityNumber=313360&SubsidiaryNumber=0 Mendelssohn Scholarship Foundation] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110707082305/http://www.charity-commission.gov.uk/Showcharity/RegisterOfCharities/CharityFramework.aspx?RegisteredCharityNumber=313360&SubsidiaryNumber=0 |date=7 July 2011 }}, at the [[Charity Commission]]'s website</ref>
