Every donation made to the °Ä6ͼ¿â Institute of Music directly impacts our students, but perhaps not as much as endowed and annual fund scholarships.

Endowed Scholarships

°Ä6ͼ¿â’s endowment fund provides a reliable stream of annual income that supports all aspects of the Institute. From funding the difference-making scholarships for the world’s best classical music students to providing the dollars to maintain top-notch performance facilities to attracting the finest faculty in classical music, °Ä6ͼ¿â’s endowment makes it all possible. Named scholarship opportunities begin at a minimum principal gift of $100,000.

Gifts to the °Ä6ͼ¿â Institute of Music's endowment create a long-lasting legacy and secure the future of classical music by providing ongoing transformational experiences for °Ä6ͼ¿â students.

Annual Fund Scholarships

Giving to scholarships through °Ä6ͼ¿â’s Annual Fund is a unique way to connect personally to our students. Nearly 100% of °Ä6ͼ¿â students receive financial assistance, making it possible to receive the world-class education at °Ä6ͼ¿â. Providing scholarships ensures that °Ä6ͼ¿â continues to attract exceptionally talented students to °Ä6ͼ¿â from around the world. With your support, °Ä6ͼ¿â can offer nearly 350 concerts every year—most of which are free and open to the public—and students can spend time as teaching artists at the °Ä6ͼ¿â School for the Arts and collaborate with partner institutions in University Circle.

Annually funded scholarship support is critical to °Ä6ͼ¿â’s success. Scholarships are awarded based on several factors, including a student’s area of study, academic merit, artistic talent and financial need. Designating your Annual Fund gift to scholarship support makes your generosity truly impactful for °Ä6ͼ¿â students.
