Scholarship Guidelines for 2024

The Jam4Dan Trustees* are pleased to announce that scholarship applications will be now accepted year-round until all scholarship funds raised during the annual Jam4Dan events are exhausted. Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, participating musicians, and the hundreds of people who attended, Jam4Dan has awarded about $40,000 to over 170 students since 2009.

Eligibility -
To be eligible to receive a Jam4Dan scholarship you must be a music student, 19 or under. Please read the application rules below carefully, and promptly submit e-mails or letters. You could be awarded up to four months of free lessons – paid by Jam4Dan directly to your instructor! Don't yet have an instructor? We can help with that! Contact us for a list of available qualified area instructors from which to choose.

Application -
The application consists of two parts.

  • Part 1 (written by Parent/Guardian and/or Instructor) - Provide a basic statement of need for a scholarship. Include what challenges already exist, or are possibly on the horizon, that might make it difficult to obtain lessons. Also, please include an assessment of the student's commitment to their instruction, and the instrument in general.
  • Part 2 (written by the student) - Provide a reflection by the student of the impact the instrument, the instruction/instructor, or the study of music in general, to express how these items have positively affected his or her life.

Submit -


  • PLEASE NOTE: Applications will not be considered complete until both parts of the application have been received as outlined above. It is also important to include both email and phone contact info for the instructor, the parent/guardian, and student (if available). If you have difficulty with this link, manually send to the email address scholarship at jam4dan dot com.
