Scholarship
Annual competition for Black and Latino students who play the Violin, Viola, Cello, or Double Bass. Applicants must be legal U.S. residents. Students will compete in either the Junior division (under 18 years old) or Senior Division (18-26 years old). In addition to application, students must submit a preliminary audition tape which includes the required repertoire for their instrument, a copy of birth certificate, and a $35 application fee (may be waived with demonstration of need). Eighteen semi-finalists travel to Michigan to compete in the Semi-Final and Final phases. All semi-finalists will receive a Sphinx Music Assistance Fund scholarship to further their musical development; in addition, the semi-finalists have the opportunity to attend a Summer Music Sponsor Institution on full scholarship.
