VCMTA Scholarship Fund
Due to strong efforts of our membership, the VCMTA Scholarship Fund is a healthy resource from which worthy students of active VCMTA members may request financial assistance. There are four areas in which grants may be awarded: 1) the high school student who will be entering college as a freshman music major; 2) the recognition of 12 years of music study; 3) worthy and/or needy pre-college students who wish to study a second instrument; and 4) worthy and/or needy students who wish to attend a summer music camp or workshop.
