NYSMF Financial Aid & Scholarships

The New York Summer Music Festival offers a limited number of scholarships and financial aid packages based on talent and financial need. An audition tape is required for consideration. Financial Aid/Scholarship Application forms are included on page 4 of the regular NYSMF application form, available on the FORMS page.

Students and parents are encouraged to seek financial assistance from local sources, such as school music organizations; county/state/national music education organizations; youth orchestras and bands; music clubs; service clubs (i.w. Rotary, Kiwanis, etc.); businesses; local churches; foundations; etc.

NYSMF currently offers several scholarship opportunities, as follows:


The NYSMF Local Scholarship Student Program

NYSMF offers special scholarships for Oneonta-area music students. Known as the Local Scholarship Student Program, it is a fantastic opportunity for local young musicians to gain all the advantages of being a NYSMF student while still ilving at home! To apply, simply include a note in your application (http://www.nysmf.org/apply) that you wish to take advantage of the NYSMF Local Scholarship Program, and we will make all the necessary adjustments.

Here are the benefits, requirements, and restrictions for students taking advantage of our Local Scholarship Student Program:

Benefits

  • Local Scholarship Students will receive discounted tuition rates for 2, 4, or 6 weeks, and are exempt from the standard "Activity Fee". (All other regular fees apply.)
    • 2 weeks (1 session): $1,100
    • 4 weeks (2 sessions): $2,000
    • 6 weeks (3 sessions): $2,900
  • Local Scholarship Students may attend all daily NYSMF programs, classes, ensembles, evening concerts, recitals, and musical events.
  • Local Scholarship Students may eat two meals each day in the NYSMF dining facilities. (You may choose not to participate in the campus meal plan to receive an additional discount.)

Responsibilities

  • Local Scholarship Students must arrange for their own pickup and dropoff each day. This includes any time they are on campus, or at a NYSMF-sponsored activity.
  • Local Scholarship Students must "Check in" at All-NYSMF Choir at 930am each day, and "Check out" as required with the NYSMF Main Office, or with their assigned staff member.

Limitations

  • Local Scholarship Students may not live on-campus in the NYSMF residence halls. "Sleepovers" in the NYSMF residence halls are strictly (and legally!) forbidden, due to NYS Health and insurance Regulations.
  • Local Scholarship Students may not participate in NYSMF recreational evening activities unless they pay the "Activity Fee" of $50/session. Local Scholarship Students are responsible for arranging their own transportation home after any evening activity.
 

The Gretchen M. Snedeker
Memorial Horn Scholarship

The New York Summer Music Festival is proud to announce a new annual performance scholarship, presented in the name of our dear friend and colleague - Gretchen Snedeker.

This scholarship to NYSMF's wonderfully rich musical program will be presented to one or more outstanding young horn players each summer. Recipients will be nominated by Gretchen's friends and colleagues from the NYSMF Brass faculty.

This amazing opportunity for NYSMF's horn students was made wholly possible by the generosity and love of Gretchen's lovely parents, Jay and Kathy Snedeker. Thank you to them both, we are so proud to have been a part of yours and Gretchen's lives.


In loving memory of
Gretchen M. Snedeker

NYSMF is very proud to be working with the legendary New York Pops Orchestra and the amazing Salute to Music Program, to provide amazing opportunities to the best young musicians in New York City to attend the challenging, exciting NYSMF program each summer.

Dr. Sherrie Maricle, Education Director for both the NY Pops and for NYSMF, and the wonderful staff of the NY Pops coordinate the Martin Ormandy Scholarship program (named after the orchestra’s founding principal cellist), in which outstanding young musicians are give the chance to win one of five full two-week scholarships to the New York Summer Music Festival.

The five young people, all from New York City public schools, are selected after having shown exceptional musical growth during the academic year as participants in the orchestra’s Salute to Music program, which provides free instrumental lessons to more than a hundred music students throughout the city’s five boroughs.

In May, more than two dozen students from Salute to Music are selected to perform with The New York Pops at the orchestra’s gala concert. From this group, five are chosen as winners of the prestigious Martin Ormandy Scholarship.

We would like to thank the entire Education Department of the NY Pops and all the talented members of the Salute to Music program for their support!
