L.J. Hancock Summer Symposium Scholarships
Deadline for Application May 7, 2012
The L.J. Hancock Summer Symposium Scholarship Fund was created in honor of L.J. Hancock (1952-2002) to celebrate his life and work as a great educator and a beloved friend. The scholarship fund benefits individual students who are interested in attending the Summer Symposium but do not have financial means or due to hardship cannot afford to pay the tuition and fees needed to apply and attend this annual summer music camp.
Scholarships are awarded on the basis of financial need. It is the intent of the Music for All Foundation to provide scholarships of at least $100 but not more than $270. Our hope is the scholarship program will help to ensure that the Summer Symposium is financially accessible for every student.
In order to reserve space for applicants until scholarship applications can be evaluated, the camp application form needs to be submitted to Music for All. Scholarship recipients will be required to pay the remainder of the tuition necessary to attend camp in advance.
