Giving

Manhattan School of Music aims to ensure that no gifted young musician is deprived of the opportunity to receive a music education of the highest quality due to financial need.

An annual Precollege scholarship may be named beginning with a gift of $2,500. Annual scholarships are fully expended in the year in which they are received to support an outstanding student with financial need and must be renewed on an annual basis to continue.

An endowed Precollege scholarship may be named with a minimum gift of $50,000. An endowed scholarship exists in perpetuity and provides essential financial support to future generations of aspiring musicians. The principal of an endowed scholarship is permanently invested, and the income it earns is awarded to students as scholarship money.

Scholarship donors are invited to scholarship recipient’s concerts, performances, and recitals; receive updates on their academic and artistic progress; and attend an annual luncheon hosted by MSM’s President where they learn about the difference they are making in the lives of young musicians and enjoy their thrilling performances. Additionally, they receive invitations to a host of special events planned throughout the year where they have an opportunity to meet like-minded patrons, talented students, distinguished faculty members, and guest artists.

We thank you for sharing our belief in the transformative power of music and for your interest in supporting exemplary performing arts education.
