Families receiving a scholarship or asistance award will be expected to help with promotion and recitals. The student must qualify for the Honor Roll at least six months out of the Conservatory year in order to keep his award.

Assistanceship Fund:

The Assistanceship Fund is designed to help those students already studying an instrument and who could not otherwise financially afford lessons. Students must fill out an application, which includes a 100-word essay written by the student on why he desires lessons. Two references, including one from a music teacher, and a copy of the family's financial information must be provided. The Assistanceship Fund will pay for 50-100% of the student's monthly lesson fee.

Grace Ryan Piano Award:

Grace Ryan was a highly esteemed Conservatory piano faculty member for many years. In 1981, the Ryan family established a scholarship fund in her name to be awarded to a graduating piano student with outstanding ability, financial need, and plans to study piano performance or music education at the college level. Students must fill out an application that includes a 100-word essay written by the students on what they plan to do with music in college and thereafter. A faculty committee chooses those who receive the award. If no student qualifies, no award is given. More than one recipient may be awarded each year. Call the Conservatory office for more information.
