Annual Scholarship Fund
Making Music Education Accessible and Affordable for All!
At San Diego Youth Symphony and Conservatory we ensure that every student with the desire to participate in our programs is given the opportunity. Each season, the Board of Directors awards tuition scholarships for students with financial need as well as those of exceptional merit. These scholarships are all underwritten by generous donors with a passion for guaranteeing that every student can take the path of personal success that comes through the study of music. Our Annual Scholarship Fund also helps students with the cost of acquiring instruments, sheet music, private lessons, access to concerts and other support throughout the season.
