Summer Music Camp Scholarship deadline

The Salem Pops Orchestra is offering a great music scholarship for students attending a summer music camp - the scholarship will be awarded to equal one half the cost of the camp, up to $500. Financial need is not required or considered. The deadline for this scholarship is April 24 - I believe students need to already be enrolled in the camp, so time is of the essence.

Because I am new to the area, I don't have a full list of local music camps, but I am more than willing to search around for appropriate camps for any interested in students. From what I know, there are many fine camps in a 50-75 mile radius and many regional and national camps that might still have availability for interested and qualified students - everything from highly concentrated orchestral experiences to music camps that combine arts and/or theatre with a healthy dose of summer fun. Please take advantage of this generous scholarship possibility - a summer music camp experience is usually a fantastic one and almost always leaves a students more inspired and motivated to become a even better musician.
