A college degree is incredibly valuable, especially for young women who are preparing for careers.

As more students begin to pursue college, degrees are becoming increasingly commonplace and necessary for many positions in different fields. Many people want to pursue further education in order to make an impact on the world but are hindered by their financial status. The rampant and rising costs of college have made education inaccessible for students of low or middle incomes.

This scholarship seeks to support women who are preparing to pursue higher education by reducing the burden of tuition.

Any female high school or undergraduate student who is a New York resident may apply for this scholarship if they’re pursuing a career in music therapy.
