Scholarship Fund

The PMTA Scholarship Fund makes it possible to further the mission of our organization by offering financial awards that recognize a student’s hard work and achievements in music:

• We encourage their musical growth through scholarships to summer music camps.
• Through our senior awards program, we honor their dedication and commitment to music study.
• Awards are also given to winners of certain PMTA-sponsored performance events.

Through our teacher membership/general grants we support and encourage our teachers
in their efforts to improve their education and studios.
