About this scholarship

Eastman Community Music School (ECMS) students enrolled in lessons, classes, and ensembles may apply for need-based and merit financial assistance, with preference for diploma-program students.

Award amounts vary. Aid is based on a combination of financial need (federal tax return page 1) and musical merit.

Submit the Financial Assistance & Scholarship application and a teacher recommendation by August 1 for the coming school year, or by December 1 for spring enrollment.
