Summer Music Study Scholarships may be used to pay for a music camp, master class, workshop, institute, special lessons, or coaching separate from (and in addition to) study with the teacher of current enrollment. If you would like to use an awarded scholarship for other than listed above, please have your teacher contact the chairperson for prior approval — before submitting an application.

This event is open to all students age nine (9) as of the audition date through high school seniors. Applicants must have studied in the performance medium of the audition with their current teacher for at least six (6) of the nine (9) months immediately preceding the auditions. Previous recipients are not eligible to audition the year following their award, with the exception of future music majors auditioning for the Graduating Senior Award. Students and non-members must reside within the Central East District.

Scholarship applicants will be judged in three areas: performance (50%), essay (30%) and sight-reading (20%). Scholarships will be granted according to their specific purposes and must be used during the summer awarded, with the exception of the Graduation Senior Award.
