The Carson City Symphony Association announces the ninth annual instrumental music scholarship for Carson City students age 5 to 17. The scholarship was established by a generous gift from Jennifer and John Webley in memory of Rosemary Nebesky, former board member and friend of the Carson City Symphony Association.
The award of $250 to $1,000 is to further the student’s music education. It can be used for lessons, workshop, music camp, master class, or other educational opportunity. To qualify, the student must live in Carson City, attend school in Carson City, or study with a music teacher in Carson City.
Funds will be paid to the teacher or program, not to the individual applicant. If the award includes travel expenses, it will be paid on reimbursement basis.
Applicants must be enrolled in their school instrumental music program unless the student is home-schooled or their school does not have an instrumental music program. A waiver of this requirement can be requested with written explanation signed by the school instrumental music instructor. Students may reapply each year, but no more than two scholarships will be awarded to any individual.
The application form in English and Spanish can be downloaded from the Symphony website, CCSymphony.com, and may be available from school music teachers. Completed applications and supporting documents will be accepted by the Symphony at P.O. Box 2001, Carson City, NV 89702-2001, and must be received by Monday, Nov. 18.
For more information, contact the Symphony at 775-883-4154.
