The Nannie Jamieson Nutshell Fund (NJNF)
The purpose of the Nannie Jamieson Nutshell Fund is to award bursaries enabling ESTA UK members to develop and broaden their teaching skills.
- Bursaries are awarded to attend short courses on string teaching

The Sheila Nelson Stringwise Fund (SNSF)
The purpose of the Sheila Nelson Stringwise Fund is to promote and disseminate the art of teaching as practised by Sheila Nelson through the creation of an archive of her work which will support string teachers.
Bursaries may also be awarded to members of ESTA UK teaching in the UK and wishing to further their knowledge of the methodologies of Sheila Nelson and Paul Rolland, and those with a special interest in group teaching.
