Scholarship Applications Invited

The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee has awarded NJW a $5,000 grant to provide scholarship assistance to students with economic need. If you've wanted to take a class but can't because of your financial circumstances, this grant can help. In addition to need, other factors will be considered, including motivation, interest, and ability. Scholarship recipients will be students at all levels of ability.

Another round of scholarship applications is invited. To apply, download the application information, fill out the application, and return it to the Jazz Workshop in person or by mail or fax. Applicants will be asked to come in for an audition Saturday, May 1, to help determine level and interests.

The Community Foundation awards grants to nonprofit organizations in all areas, from health and social services to the arts. In the past these grants have funded special projects, including NJW's Community Jazz Series and Jazz on the Move. This year the Foundation's grants are targeted to help organizations provide core services to persons in need. We appreciate the Foundation's help in making this opportunity possible for students!
