Allegro Scholarship Program

Established in February of 2000, The Allegro Scholarship Program provides instruction fee assistance for gifted and talented music students in financial need.

DONATE to Support Local Young Musicians

The student candidate must be referred by her/his instructor who will send a letter of recommendation to the director (315 Avenue A, Lakeport CA 95453). Once the referral is received, evaluated, and approved, the student’s family must complete an application to verify the need for financial assistance. A grant for assistance qualifies the student for a six-month period and is subject to a review of the student’s progress. A grant is limited by the funding available and its continuation is at the director’s discretion.

Each scholarship recipient is requested to provide service to Allegro while receiving support from the program. This may take the form of assisting with fundraising, enlisting new sponsors, providing clerical support, or performing other program support functions.

Allegro wishes to express our deep gratitude for steadfast community support from individuals, businesses and foundations in both Mendocino and Lake Counties for more than a quarter-century of giving. Your generosity has provided assistance for community youth orchestras, school music programs, individual music instruction and college grants. 

Thank you.
