Kiwanis Music Education Fund

About Our Bursary Program

The Kiwanis Music Education Fund is providing bursaries for students looking for aid with the cost of music lessons or an instrument, giving them the opportunity to study with a qualified and experienced teacher in our community. We were able to support 11 deserving students during during the 2024-2025 school year, and look forward to continuing that support in 2025-2026!

Are you, or your child, a student who loves learning music, and wants to reach that next goal in your journey but can't afford to pay for private lessons? Are you a teacher who sees potential in a student, but are aware they may not have the financial resources to move forward or purchase an instrument? We want to help!
