Our scholarship program is a solution that bridges the gap for students who otherwise may not be able to afford music lessons. No one gets turned away but we do have requirements to receive a scholarship.
Why do we provide scholarships?

- We want to create meaningful and significant experience that encourage, inspire, and motivate people towards community and leadership development.
- We want to see our scholarship students give back to the organization and feel they are contributing to something bigger than themselves in their community.
Who should apply?
- Anyone who has the desire to participate in the services we offer.
- We are particularly interested in providing scholarships for people coming from lower-income households.
- Those willing to meet criteria expected of scholarship students: i.e. Volunteering, minimum payments, and leadership development.
