Mission

Our mission is to honor the life calling of Karen Von Bernewitz and to, in her honor, continue to reward others that align with her values and calling. Karen was a life-long Christian learner and educator, musician, mother, and loyal friend who valued community service, the joy of expression through music, and caring for the needs of children and the elderly. Karen was a funny, direct orchestra teacher at a majority minority middle school in northern Virginia, and she especially enjoyed helping students find their callings in the world, just as Karen did teaching. Her community and family continue this scholarship seeking junior or senior students in the DC, MD, VA area that likewise are orchestra students. Scholarship seeks learners that intend on going to a two- or four-year school to study a community or child helping profession, such as education, nursing, health care, social work, or the like. Scholarship may also be applied towards music camps for enrichment for future music teachers. Scholarship, grant, award amounts may vary from $500-$2,000. Students may only win one scholarship per student; due date is 10/31. For further questions, please reach out to the scholarship committee directly.

    Dear Von Bernewitz, I want to express my appreciation for awarding me the Karen Von Bernewitz Memorial Scholarship. Receiving this recognition is life-changing, and I feel incredibly fortunate to be part of Karen’s lasting legacy. This scholarship eases my financial responsibilities, allowing me to focus more fully on pursuing my passions for music and language learning. With this support, I’m excited to continue my journey both as an music student and as someone who aspires to serve others in my community. As someone who shares Karen’s love for music and service, I’m especially honored to carry on Karen Von Bernewitz’s legacy through this scholarship. Her dedication to teaching, her care for students, and her commitment to service will continue to inspire me. I am motivated to follow in her footsteps by making a positive impact, whether through music, education, or helping those in need. Thank you for your generosity and commitment to uplifting students who share Karen’s values. Your support has made a meaningful difference in my life, and I hope to use my education and talents to give back to others in the future. Thank you, Cub Miller
