Scholarship Fund Our Scholarship Fund exists to assist those families whose resources do not extend to music lessons. When adequate funds are available, we also provide quality instruments for our scholarship students, and help with other related musical expense, such as Youth Orchestra tuition or Summer Camp tuition. Recipients must demonstrate need and must maintain excellent standing in the school. The Fund relies on grants, corporate sponsorship, and private donations, and the number of scholarships we can offer each year depends on the success of this fund. To sponsor a scholarship student or donate an instrument, please contact Becki Christopherson or Jennifer Trahan in the office to discuss your area of interest. We thank you in advance for your generosity! |
