Society of Friends
more informationThe association was founded in 2001 with the aim of keeping the Summer Academy alive as an international venue for artistic participation and cultural encounters in Salzburg. Every year, the Society of Friends awards scholarships for participation in the diverse course programme. Most recently, a jury of experts selected 45 students from 300 participants. The Summer Academy's scholarship programme is unique in this way and allows the Summer Academy to continue its almost 70-year tradition at a high international level.
