Dr Alfred Hollins (1865-1942) was a blind organist, who spent most of his professional life in Scotland, as Organist of Free St George’s Church in Edinburgh (later known as St George’s West). After Hollins’ death, a fund in his memory was established in order to support blind organists in their studies towards becoming professional organists. Over the years, there have been several awards made from this Fund, but in recent years the number has diminished. 

​

The Scheme is administered by the Scottish Federation of Organists. It is the intention of the Trustees of the Alfred Hollins Memorial Scheme to make awards to suitable applications in the following categories:

 

1. To support vision-impaired students of the organ who intend to become professional organists

 

2. To support the Alfred Hollins Memorial Recital
