SCHOLARSHIP FUNDS
One of our dreams for the future is to be able to offer every
student we accept a tuition-free Festival. We hope to underwrite
the experience of each student, making their time at the
Shandelee Music Festival less of a financial encumbrance and
furthering our reputation as a Festival. We want students to
consider it a great honor to come to us. One way we can do this
is to offer the greatest privileges any Festival could offer.
With your help, we can accomplish our goals.
ESTABLISH YOUR OWN SCHOLARSHIP!
You may wish to create your own new scholarship. What a
wonderful way to help the Festival continue its mission while
supporting young talented pianists. Please contact us and we
would be happy to establish a scholarship fund for you.
