Music scholarship opportunity announced

The Southwest Washington Symphony is offering scholarships to private music students residing in Cowlitz, Columbia, Clatsop, Pacific, or Wahkiakum counties based on student/family needs.

For the scholarship year beginning September 1, 2021, the application deadline will be August 1. The applicants will receive notification by August 15.

Applicants must have had some prior musical training, either in school or through private study. Accordingly, instrumental applicants must be enrolled in grades 5–12. Vocal music applicants must be in grades 8–12 due to concerns about the physical development of children younger than 13 years of age.

Further information and an application may be found at the symphony’s website: http://www.swwasymphony.org/ and by contacting the Scholarship Committee Chair: Sue Hinshaw at (360) 577-7732 or by email at suesing1@msn.com.
