Thanks to the generosity of our donors, The Louisville Academy of Music (est. 1954) is thrilled to announce the launch of our Scholarship Program. Donors committed $33,900 to provide qualifying students access to high quality private instrument and vocal instruction and the opportunity to join a supportive and enriching musical community. During the 2020-2021 academic year, our program will fund private lessons for 10 new students and sustain qualifying students in coming years. In addition, new students will be added as funding for the program grows.
As one of the few non-profit music schools in the state of Kentucky, this program furthers our mission to remove barriers for all students who desire access to the world of classical music. We are thankful to our donors for joining our vision to make the joy of music and the benefits of learning an instrument available to any student who is willing and devoted.
With heartfelt gratitude, we would like to recognize the donors whose gifts create ongoing opportunities for young musicians in our community.
