Diversity in Music Education Scholarship
Minorities have always been a pivotal force driving the arts, and we want to encourage and support diversity in music education.
The Symphonic Distribution Art Student Debt Scholarship exists to support students from a minority background who are looking to take their career in the arts to the next level.
This scholarship is open to all BIPOC students who are interested in, already enrolled in, or are recent graduates with a degree in the arts.
To apply, applicants must submit a short video about why music and the arts are important to culture and how they can be used to promote cross-cultural inclusion.
