Those supported by the Susan Chilcott Scholarship have included many singers who are now making names for themselves on the opera and concert stage including: Clare Booth; Thomas Hobbs; Jennifer Johnston; Ashley Riches and Kathryn Rudge.

Jonathan Dimbleby, Susan Chilcott Scholarship President commented on the final award:

“Our original hope in launching the Chilcott Awards was to honour Sue’s memory by helping young singers of exceptional talent to achieve their full potential in this most perilous profession. I believe we have succeeded. Of course, it is a bitter-sweet moment that this has to be our final Award but it has been an inspiration and a delight to have been involved. My admiration for those who competed and my gratitude to all those who have made it possible is unbounded.”
