Our Project Pipeline initiative is designed to support the next generation of serious aspiring young musicians who are dedicated to achieving musical excellence and require financial assistance to reach their goals.

 

From January 1st to February 1st, we accept applications for fellowships and scholarships from committed young musicians. Applications are considered for the calendar year in which they are submitted, with award announcements made by February 15th.

​

Fellowship recipients receive, for the calendar year, an award that can include funds toward:

• Weekly private lessons with your applied teacher

• Tuition for a summer music program located anywhere in the United States 

• Progress check-ins with the PHPA Director

​
Scholarship recipients are awarded partial or full scholarships to a summer music camp to be used in the summer of the year in which the scholarship is received. The award covers tuition only and excludes any expenses such as travel, lodging, and food. Scholarship funds are sent directly to the camp/institute, not to the award recipient. 

​

Fellowship awards are available for students in grades 8 through 12.

​

Fellowship and scholarship awards are based on merit and need.
