Some information about you as a person

From Someone Else:​
​
-
We require at least one referral letter from someone unrelated to you who would like to see you awarded this scholarship. You can include the letter with your submission or they can upload it themselves, or send it to us directly by email or post.

Ideally, this letter would be from your school's band/choir/ orchestra/drama teacher. If you don't have any of those, here are some other options:
-
Another teacher at your school​
-
A performing arts teacher from somewhere else (camp, community center, etc)
-
A music leader from your church, community or neighborhood.
-
Any other adult who knows you well and is not a relative.
