The PMTA Scholarship Fund makes it possible to further the mission* of our organization by offering financial awards that recognize a student’s hard work and achievements in music:

• We encourage their musical growth through scholarships to summer music camps.
• Through our senior awards program, we honor their dedication and commitment to music study.
• Awards are also given to winners of certain PMTA-sponsored performance events.

Through our teacher membership/general grants we support and encourage our teachers in their efforts to improve their education and studios.

In the past we have offered additional need-based scholarships and grants, as well as donated to worthy causes such as Rosie’s House. However, we have been forced to drop or substantially modify many of our scholarship programs due to the recent economic downturn, which led to the loss of several major donors.
