Make a difference

You can help make a difference in the lives of our students by providing a scholarship gift or contributing to an existing endowed account. Scholarship gifts provide outstanding students in Music Learning and Teaching with the support they need to remain focused on their education and realize their goals of becoming exemplary future educators, scholars and practitioners. We invite you to consider supporting one of our existing scholarships.

Other ways to support

You can also make a gift to the Friends of Music or you may also wish to consider establishing an endowed scholarship.

An endowed scholarship gift provides a meaningful way to have your name, the name of another family member, friend, former teacher or mentor, or a firm’s name memorialized in the future of the School of Music, Dance and Theatre. When a donor makes an investment to establish an endowed music scholarship, they ensure scholarship support for students in perpetuity. The director works with the donor to establish criteria that honor the donor’s particular program interest. Typically, endowment funds start with a commitment of $50,000. Many times, donors elect to build the endowment fund over a period of time — usually two to three years. An endowment fund ensures that an award will be made to a student(s) each and every year in the name of that fund. Endowed scholarships allow donors to build relationships with their recipients.
