Scholarships
Katherine Jameson Piano Scholarship
Deadline: December 4, 2026
This scholarship provides one student with piano instruction from the Community Music School of the Piedmont for one year from January through December.
This scholarship is established to honor the late Katherine Jameson, a well-known and much-loved music educator in our community and the first piano instructor at the Community Music School. Katherine was devoted to music and the music education of children.
Students between the ages of 10 and 18 who have demonstrated a passion and ability for music are eligible to apply, regardless of prior piano instruction.
To apply, students are required to submit a letter of recommendation from someone outside their family (ideally a music instructor) familiar with their musical interests and write a 500-word essay on the role that music plays in their life and why they consider musical study to be an important and valuable undertaking. A successful essay will also demonstrate the student’s interest in studying the piano.
