The Tri-County Music Association is now accepting applications for college scholarships and summer study grants for musicians who live in the tri-county area: Barnstable, Bristol, and Plymouth counties of Massachusetts. Applications can be found at http://tricountysymphonicband.org/scholarships.html.
We offer conditional scholarships to students attending a four-year college or university as a music major. Current college students and college-bound high school seniors are eligible to apply. Previous winners are invited to reapply.
We are also proud to offer summer music study grants to deserving high school students (grades 9-12). This program helps to defray the cost for recipients’ musical study in summer camps, summer programs and private lessons.
The Tri-County Music Association, Inc. is committed to supporting music in our community and is proud of the many scholarships we have given over the last 50 years. We are focused on helping student musicians pursue their goals and share the gift of music for years to come. Ticket sales raised by the Tri-County Symphonic Band performances and generous donations are distributed annually to a competitive selection of young people whose talent and ambition serves as an inspiration for the Tri-County Symphonic Band. Each year, $12,000 is distributed among highly deserving and dedicated students, some receiving college scholarships of $1,000-$1,500. For high school students, summer study grants are awarded to assist with the cost of excellent music camps and lessons, such as the Tanglewood Institute, Berklee College of Music, the New England Conservatory of Music and many more. Last year, $12,000 was distributed among 11 scholarship recipients and four summer grant recipients attending University of North Texas, New England Conservatory, the Boston Conservatory, UMass, the University of Hartford, Westminster Choir College, Tanglewood Institute, Rhode Island College, Berklee College of Music and the Steve Massey Foxboro Jazz Camp.
