IEVFS Annual Flute Lesson Scholarship
About the Scholarship
The Harriet Foucher Memorial Flute Lesson Scholarship is offered annually by the Inland Empire Valley Flute Society (IEVFS). The purpose of the scholarship is to help a dedicated flute student pay for private flute lessons.
The deadline to apply for the scholarship is December 13, 2024. Apply online, using the link at the bottom of this page.
Applicants will be notified of their status once the applications have been evaluated and a finalist chosen.
The scholarship will cover 50% of the cost of a student's flute lesson fees for six months, up to a maximum of $25 per lesson and $600 for six months. Assuming the student has lessons four times per month, then the IEVFS would pay up to $25 per lesson or $100 per month, and the scholarship recipient will be responsible for paying any remaining lesson fees above the $25/lesson limit.
Scholarship funds received will be paid directly to the flute instructor.
The scholarship recipient may choose their own instructor, but the instructor must be qualified as a flute instructor and approved by the IEVFS. The instructor must be a Teacher member of the IEVFS. If the instructor is not a member when the lessons begin, then IEVFS Teacher membership dues of $40 will be deducted from the first month's scholarship payment to the instructor.
If the applicant does not currently have a flute instructor, the IEVFS can and will provide a list of qualified local flute instructors.
The scholarship recipient will be asked to perform at an IEVFS membership meeting before the scholarship ends.
The scholarship recipient will also receive a complimentary 1-year Student membership to the IEVFS.
Requirements & Eligibility
- Open to elementary school, middle school/jr. high school, high school, or adult flute players who live or attend school in San Bernardino County or Riverside County.
- Financial need is a consideration.
- The scholarship does not cover the entire fees of the flute teacher: the winner will be responsible for any remaining fees above the scholarship amount due the private instructor.
