Last year’s scholarship winners (left to right – Mia Hamilton, violin, Luna Arredondo, cello, and Izabell McCullen, violin) used their awards for private lessons on their instruments.
The Carson City Symphony Association announces the 7th annual instrumental music scholarship for Carson City students ages 5 to 17.
The scholarship was established by a gift from Jennifer and John Webley in memory of Rosemary Nebesky, former board member and friend of the Carson City Symphony.
The award of $250 to $1,000 is to further the student’s music education. It can be used for lessons, workshop, summer camp, master class, etc. To qualify, a student must live and attend school or study with a music teacher in Carson City. Lessons can be in-person or remote.
Funds will be paid to the teacher or program, not to the individual applicant. If the award includes travel expenses, it will be paid on reimbursement basis. Applicants must be enrolled in their school instrumental music program unless the student is home-schooled, or their school does not have an instrumental music program.
A waiver of this requirement can be requested with written explanation signed by the school instrumental music instructor. Students may reapply each year, but no more than two scholarships will be awarded to any individual.
The application form can be downloaded at www.CCSymphony.com, and may be available from school music teachers. Completed applications and supporting documents will be accepted at P.O. Box 2001, Carson City, NV 89702-2001, and must be received by Monday, Nov. 21.
