Scholarship Program
Americana Music Academy will begin accepting scholarship applications again on December 1, 2024.
Americana Music Academy’s (AMA) mission is to teach, enrich, and support the advancement of all forms of American roots music and its influences, and to encourage creative musicianship among our community members. When funds are available, AMA seeks to help those not financially able to pursue music instruction by awarding a limited number of scholarships based on financial need. The AMA Scholarship Committee reviews scholarship applications in January and July. Those whose applications are approved are awarded a partial or full scholarship for a six-month period for up to $120 per month.
For returning applicants: Former scholarship recipients are eligible to apply again to renew their award. Please note that students must request a recommendation from their teacher in addition to your own application.
For new applicants: If you do not already have an instructor, please email americanamusicacademy@gmail.com to arrange a no-charge trial lesson with one of our teachers.
When reviewing applications, the Scholarship Committee primarily considers the applicant’s financial need, the instructor’s feedback about the applicant, and the applicant’s stated reasons for pursuing music lessons.
Our scholarship program is made possible by
