The Grant A Guitar Scholarship is awarded each year to one or more deserving high school students to foster music appreciation and fluency – and, ultimately, to amplify the power that music has to improve our daily lives.
What is included in the scholarship?
In 2017, the innaugural year, the scholarship included
- One $1,000 USD scholarship to be applied to a new guitar and lessons
- One $250 music lesson scholarship plus a Fender Stratocaster electric guitar
- Two $100 music lesson scholarships
- Three $50 music lesson scholarships
Am I eligible?
In 2017, The Grant a Guitar scholarship was available to any fulltime student currently enrolled in one of the participating High Schools in the month of April 2017. This year’s participating high schools are Chagrin Falls High School, Kenston High School, Orange High School, and Solon High School.
