Grant A Guitar Scholarship Program

Grant A Guitar Scholarship
2018

Grant A Guitar honors Grant Wilson's legacy by fueling a love of music in others - where it can do the greatest good.

A 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization

In the second year of Grant A Guitar, we are expanding our work in three important dimensions; 
  • More schools; we are adding the Aurora school district to Chagrin Falls, Kenston, Orange, and Solon.
  • More grades: we are expanding the essay contest to include a seperate middle school track (across all five districts).
  • More ways to spread the love of music: we will be adding fully funded music instruction to our existing scholarship programs by partnering with established non-profit institutions in the greater Cleveland area.
