Scholarship Program
Transforming Lives Through Music
A limited number of scholarships are available to kids under the age of 18 who have the desire to play a musical instrument but would otherwise not have the opportunity to take music lessons. Scholarship money is provided by Music Motive, private donations, and Bucket Busters fund raising including the sale of their CD, "Buckets of Fire".
Commonly Asked Questions:
Q: Who can qualify for a scholarship?
Any kid under 18 years of age who has the desire to learn a musical instrument. All that is needed is a referral from a teacher, principle, social service agency, foster care organization, etc.
Q: Are scholarships for classes (like Bucketeers) AND private lessons?
Yes.
Q: How long does a scholarship last?
