Scholarship for music student and future teacher. Cost $2,500
The future of music in our schools depends on the quality of future teachers who will work with our students from kindergarten through senior year. The MII Scholarship will go to a graduating senior who has been accepted into a music program and intends to include teaching music in the future.
