The Louisville Academy of Music believes music belongs to everyone. We are working to help break down barriers, build pathways, and create access to music education. We know learning an instrument opens doors to success in any field and our mission is to provide education, support and mentorship for any student who is willing and devoted no matter their socio-economic status. Along with our need-based scholarship program we award a limited amount in educational enrichment and professional development grants.

The Louisville Academy of Music’s Scholarships are awarded to students with financial-need. Scholarships provide the opportunity for long-term musical study for students grades K-12 (or up to age 23 for voice) who are hard-working and passionate about music. Full and partial scholarships are available and primarily cover private lessons but students may also apply for assistance in chamber music, group classes, or the LAM Summer Symposium. The committee gives priority to continuing students and to students applying through our partnership through Western Middle School for the Arts.

Applications are reviewed by the scholarship committee which makes recommendations for final review by the LAM Board of Directors. Applications are due May 1st and awardees will be notified by June 1st.
