Award winners

Prize winners of the Halldórs Hansen Scholarship Fund

According to the charter of the Halldórs Hansen Scholarship Fund, one of its main goals is to provide an annual grant in Halldórs Hansen's name to one or two promising music students at the Iceland Academy of the Arts, who have achieved outstanding results in the opinion of the fund's board. In order to limit the choice of the scholarship fund, it was decided that only those music students who had just finished their first university level and were about to start further studies abroad would be considered.

The first scholarships were awarded in 2004 and they have been awarded annually since, except for 2011, but no awards were given that year.
