Potomac Music announces 2023–2024 Upbeat Scholarship
South Fairfax Chamber of Commerce member Potomac Music is offering a one-year music scholarship.
Potomac Music is fortunate to be a part of a warm, generous community here in Lorton. One of their dear clients, Petra Casipit passed away in December 2021. Petra was an amateur cellist, music lover, and promoter of the performing arts. She had a dedication to her music studies and believed in the importance of giving learning opportunities to those in need.
Together with her family, friends, and colleagues, Potomac Music has established a scholarship in her honor for students who would like to learn music but may not have the financial means to do so. Petra chose the name “Upbeat,” which is a delightful play on musical terms and captures the spirit of the scholarship. Students ages 7 – 18 are eligible to apply for the one-year, renewable scholarship. The scholarship provides for fifty-two one-on-one 30-minute lessons with a professional instructor. The scholarship also includes a rental instrument and instructional materials if applicable.
The 2023 – 2024 Upbeat Scholarship application window will close February 10, 2023. Two winners will be announced Wednesday, March 1st, 2023. The scholarship will be active starting March 1, 2023 – February 29, 2024. Apply Now! https://docs.google.com/forms/...
