Scholarship Opportunities

Peaks to Plains Suzuki Institute is proud to offer a limited number of scholarships to participants in support of their tuition costs. Various businesses as well as individual donors have contributed to make these scholarships possible. Scholarships will be awarded primarily on the basis of financial need; additionally, musical efforts, reliability, commitment, and teacher recommendation will also be considered. Parent/guardians of scholarship recipients MUST be available to serve volunteer hours at the institute, as determined by the director, to receive the awarded scholarship. A lack of participation in service hours may affect future awards.
