We have discussed the possibility of creating a scholarship for quite a while, and I am proud to announce that, like the Monster Concert we once just dreamed of, the Cecilian Scholarship is now a reality! Thanks to our friends at Westminster Choir College at Rider University, we can provide talented students with an opportunity to dive into the world of music for one week in the summer, to practice and perform with other young musicians, and to learn from first-class Westminster Arts faculty.
The Cecilian Scholarship will fund the tuition of one student to attend Westminster's Solo Pianist Program for high school students, and the tuition of a second student to attend the Middle School Piano Camp. The total amount of scholarship funds amount to approximately $1800. At the discretion of the Board members the scholarship amount may be divided among more than one qualified student. I am so proud to be able to participate in this new endeavor to reward our best students with a simple opportunity to learn and have fun. Thank to everyone who contributed their time and energy to this program!
For all the information, as well as entry forms for students and teachers, please visit the Scholarship Page (click Student Opportunities to the left, and then choose Cecilian Scholarship from the horizontal menu above).
