RICHARD B. SIEGEL
STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP GRANTS
for WCYO Members
The Westside Community & Youth Orchestra has been awarded a series of grants from the Richard B. Siegel Foundation via the Hillsboro Community Foundation. These grants provide exposure, education and opportunities to the arts in the greater Hillsboro community. WCYO was selected because of the valuable artistic and cultural opportunities that it provides.
Through our grant, this term, we are offering scholarships of at least $350 per applicant. Depending on the number of applicants this may increase up to $750. If you have expenses that equal $750, please submit them, but understand that we may only be able to reimburse you for $350.00.
This is not a need-based scholarship.
Any WCYO Member under 21 years of age is eligible to apply once per term.
All expenses must be approved in advance and are only for your primary instrument played with our orchestra.
Orchestra members who have not reached their 21st birthday are eligible to apply for the student scholarships. All members receiving grant support are encouraged to continue their participation in our orchestra.
Lessons and instructors must be approved by the WCYO Board in advance.
