Our Scholarships Our Mentoring/Preparatory Scholarship program was created to encourage high school students who share our passion for making music to continue their training by participating in a more advanced music organization, with mentoring from our membership. It is not a monetary scholarship, but one that provides valuable experience and training. Successful candidates may request letters of recommendation for college applications, etc. One vocalist and one instrumentalist will be awarded a scholarship each year.
