SCHOLARSHIP INFORMATION
A limited number of scholarships in amounts ranging from $25
to $300 are available to outstanding, solo-chair quality
instrumentalists and out-standing vocalists who desire to attend Stephen Collins
Foster Music Camp. The scholarships are awarded
according to the following priority: (1) to students who
play an instrument needed to complete camp instrumentation
or voicing;
(2) to students who exhibit extraordinary skill in
performance and could benefit themselves and the camp by
attendance; (3) on the basis of financial need for those
students who do not necessarily fall into categories #1 and
#2 above, but those whose presence at the camp would be
mutually beneficial.
TYPES OF SCHOLARSHIPS
Scholarships to the Foster Music Camp are of three types:
(1) Institutional scholarships from the Stephen Foster Music
Camp; (2) Scholarships from the National Federation of Music
Clubs; (3) Scholarships presented by your local P.T.A. or
Band or Orchestra Booster groups.
School groups wishing to sponsor a student to attend Stephen
Collins Foster Music Camp should write for information about
