About Our Scholarships:
The intention of the Music for Music's Sake Scholarship is to provide a full school year of instruction to one or more students. Each scholarship awarded will be a tailored offering of String Theory School of Music programs most beneficial for that individual student. Recipients of this scholarship award are individuals who demonstrate a passion for music, love for learning, and a desire to share those qualities with a community of like-minded people. The amount and number of scholarships provided is fully dependent upon an independent fund created by donations from the community and supporters and friends of String Theory School of Music.
At this time, donations are not tax deductable. For more information on giving, please visit our website, or email Amy Leigh at scholarships@stringtheoryschoolofmusic.com
