CMT Scholarship FAQ's

Who may benefit from a CMT Scholarship?

Anyone may benefit from a CMT Scholarsip, from a first time family to a family that has been a part of our CMT family for years.

Do I need to divulge personal financial information?

No, no financial information is asked for, the honor system applies here. If you request a scholarship we take you at your word that you need the assistance. Simply answer the questions on our Scholarship Application page and your request will be considered.

How can I apply for a CMT scholarship?

Please answer our questions located on our CMT Scholarship Application page and submit them via email or USPS.

Are scholarship requests ever denied?

Yes, that is possible. Unfortunately there are some who may not value the principals of Canalside Music Together, and therefore not truly benefit from the program. In that case, it is only fair to pass along the scholarship to a family that will benefit from our communal, music making family. Possible denial of scholarship assistance are: an unwillingness from the parent or caregiver to be an active participant during class, frequent absenses not due to extenuating circumstances, etc.

How are CMT Scholarships awarded?

The questions on the CMT Scholarship Application page are answered by the applicant and submitted to Esther Winter (CMT director) via email or USPS. Once the application has been processed the available funds are reviewed and scholarships are determined. Every measure is taken to provide opportunities to all applicants, however sometimes this is fiscially not possible.

How can I make a contribution to the CMT Scholarship Fund?

Contributions must be made by check payable to Canalside Music Together and mailed to: 17 South Main Street, Pittsford, NY 14534. If you wish to keep your contribution confidential, you can do so with a note accompanying your contribution.
