#UMassGives 2017
Music Scholarship Fund
Skill. Dedication. Promise.
Here’s what our Music Scholarship students have to say about their experiences:
“The supportive, friendly environment at the Music & Dance Department offers endless opportunities to budding musicians and artists like myself.”
– Jessica Toupin ’18, Voice Studio
“I’m so grateful for the opportunity to study with outstanding teachers and perform in such a wide variety of ensembles. The challenge has enabled me to really grow as a musician.”
- Jillian Gummeson ’20, Music Education/Tuba
Each year, the Department of Music & Dance awards scholarships to promising music students who demonstrate financial need. The funding for these much-needed scholarships comes primarily through the generosity of alumni and donors like YOU.
Your gift to the Music Scholarship Fund will allow students like Jillian and Jessica the chance to reach their full potential. Our students receive professional training to help prepare them for careers as music teachers, performers, composers, scholars, arrangers, and conductors, all in the diverse and dynamic setting of a public research university.
Skill. Dedication. Promise.
