Call for Donations for the Summer Symposium Scholarship Fund: No Child Left Behind
 For the fifth year, Music for All partnered with the Indianapolis radio station WTTS-FM 92.3, Fifth Third Bank, and the Arts Council of Indianapolis in the "Band Together" initiative to support music education in Indianapolis. Financial donations benefit the Indianapolis Public Schools (IPS) Summer Symposium Scholarship Fund, created by Music for All to give disadvantaged Indianapolis students access to study with the finest music faculty at the national Music for All Summer Symposium Due to unprecedented response from IPS students applying for the scholarships, Music for All is seeking to increase the donations to serve more students.
This year, applications for the scholarship fund have tripled. Because of the belief that Music for All provides a positively life-changing experience at the Summer Symposium, we have pledged this year to have "no child left behind" and are seeking additional donations to provide full $500 scholarships for all of deserving IPS students who have applied, increasing the number of scholarships from 45 to over 90. Please consider making a donation to the IPS Summer Symposium scholarship fund.
