Music sponsorship, scholarship, financial aid?

Hi Helpers;
my son is 11 years old, he is extremly talented in Music, he is accepted by the best music school pre-college division in this country in NYC studying violin, starting this Sept.

We only got $1000 financial aid from the school, while the cost will go over $10K each year, we are a single income family of three kids living in central New Jersey. We could not cover the cost of my sons study.

I saw many scholarships in different states for Young Talented kids, I could not find anything in New Jersey.

Could anyone help me to find some sponsorship, scholarship, financial aid information? Any foundations that I could contact to help my son's study?

Your help is greatly appreciated.

CL

Hi CL,

Best wishes to you all - I sincerely hope you find a source of funding so that your son can benefit from this awesome opportunity. I've been teaching music for almost 20 years & am committed to helping all children receive the musical education they deserve.
