Scholarship Information:

The Jonathan Alder Music Boosters gives 6 $500 scholarships to seniors every year. We give 3 to choir students and 3 to band students. Every Senior who has been in band or choir for two years, including their Senior year, is eligible to apply for a scholarship.

The scholarship committee collects the applications and essays. The essays are then given to individuals who are not in our community and not connected in any way to Jonathan Alder. They go through several readings before being selected as the scholarship winners. Scholarships are awarded at the end of every year. For more information, please reach out!

CLICK HERE TO DONATE TODAY

Donations to support the Music Boosters' efforts are accepted at any time. All donations go directly to our performing arts students at Jonathan Alder Schools for equipment, supplies, scholarships, and more!

Thank you for your support!
