Thanks to generous community support through fundraising and membership sales, YMB is delighted to offer music camp scholarships and grants to our talented York musicians.

York Music Boosters is pleased to offer grants to musicians currently enrolled in a York High School music program. These grants are intended to provide financial support for music students who wish to pursue additional enrichment opportunities above and beyond the set curriculum. 

THE GRANT:  The amount awarded will be determined by the nature of the application, the total number of applicants and the current year grant budget. Please note that most individual grant awards do not exceed $100 – and can either cover a partial or full reimbursement of costs.

ELIGIBILITY:  Any student(s) currently enrolled in a York High School music class may request a grant for purposes outlined below. Students may apply for individual grants, or as an ensemble or group.

Note that these are guidelines and examples and are not intended to be a complete list. Each grant will be reviewed for appropriateness by the York Music Directors and the YMB organization.

ELIGIBLE:

  • Music for ensembles or solo performances
  • Master classes or other non-private-lesson educational class
  • Recording opportunities
  • Concerts
  • Short-term coverage for new/alternate instrument instruction

APPLICATION:  Applications must be completed in full and returned to the student’s music director. Applications will be accepted throughout the school year and will be considered on a first-come, first-served basis until the budget has been exhausted. Status of grant applications will be provided within approximately two weeks of submission. Due to the nature of the program, please note that actual payment of the grant can only be made when proof of qualifying purchase/receipt of payment is provided.

Riddle and Carson Scholarships

The Riddle Scholarship is awarded to outstanding York Performing Arts sophomores or juniors who put the needs of others first and help their peers to develop, learn and succeed. Music directors nominate and select students based on their knowledge and observations of student behavior. The allocated funds can be used for lessons, summer camps, and instrument upgrades or for additional music and leadership enrichment opportunities.

 

Under the leadership of William Riddle, the York Performing Arts has cultivated a truly outstanding arts community. In 2013, York was selected as one of three schools (out of 20,000 high schools) in the nation to receive the GRAMMY Signature School Gold Award. Under the collaborative vision of Mr. Riddle, our music program expanded beyond band, orchestra and choir to include dance and music production programs. These newly created classes have provided hundreds of non-traditional music and art students with a place to connect, learn and grow as artists.

 

The Carson Scholarship is named after York alumna Cathy Carson, class of '81, who played flute in the band. She was killed in a car accident later that year while attending the University of Iowa as a freshman. Her family established a scholarship in her name, and the music directors nominate and select the recipients.

“She was a good friend of my older sister,” says Mary Young, a board member of the York Music Boosters. “She was super energetic, funny, and crazy smart. Her death was a heartbreaking loss for our band community.”

The Cathy Carson Scholarships is awarded to students who exhibit exceptional leadership, citizenship, and musicianship as a member of the York Band Program.
