Alexandria Music Makers Scholarship Fund
The Alexandria Music Makers Scholarship Fund is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to providing non-primary school music education to deserving young musicians. Our goal is to provide scholarships to children in our area so they can study music at any of our partner schools. We need donations to provide music education to our community’s low-income children. School programs are great and we fully support them, but they are often not enough so we rely on non-primary school music schools to fill the gap.
