More Than a Scholarship
We create special opportunities for talented young artists, helping them take their abilities to the next level. Our scholarship recipients receive long‑term support from leading mentors. They can also develop their talent through masterclasses and concerts in the Czech Republic and abroad.

More about the project
Support for Young Talented Artists
The first musicians to enter the scholarship support program were Jan Schulmeister, Adam Znamirovský, Vivi Nguyen, Nora Lubbadová, and Vladimír Slavíček. We provide financial and professional support to all these promising stars. They receive guidance from members of the expert panel, which selects young musicians for the scholarship support and works with them continuously. The expert panel includes Ivo Kahánek, Jarmila Holcová, Beata Hlavenková, and Tomáš Kačo, along with project partners: Petrof President Zuzana Ceralová Petrofová and Dana Syrová from the MenART Academy.
The panel's activities align with the foundation's ongoing efforts in supporting talent. Since 2019, we have supported young talent through the programs of the Academy of Classical Music, notably the Concertino Praga competition.
„Identifying and supporting young talent is absolutely essential. It is like nurturing rare seeds that will one day bear extraordinarily beautiful fruit. Eventually, it will enrich us all.“
Director of the MenART Academy
„The scholarship fund is overseen by an expert panel composed of specialists in classical music performance, original piano composition, and interpretation across all genres. The panel includes top Czech artists and educators engaged in both advanced and elementary music education.“
Panel Supervisor and Director of the Dvořák Prague Festival
„Talent is a gift that requires work and support. The foundation’s support gives young people the confidence they need to achieve their goals.“
