Scholarships

We currently have several scholarship programs including a new one that is specifically reserved for family hardship situations. This new scholarship will help needy students with lessons or instrument rental. Our current scholarship programs are the Jean Brook Dunning Award, the Jason Pell Scholarship, the Donner Mine Music Camp Scholarships and the Lucy Becker Memorial Scholarship.

Donations to our scholarship funds are a great way to support our education programs. If you love classical music as much as we do, help us to continue providing these valuable opportunities for young people. It is your generous investment that makes what we do possible.

You can donate to our Scholarship Funds Online (just write the name of the scholarship you would like to support in the comments field).
