2022 Cycle 2 Scholarship Application - for lessons from 8/1/22 - 1/31/23
The Americana Music Academy’s (AMA) mission is to teach, promote, and support the advancement of all forms of American roots music and its influences, and to pass on the grand tradition of American based music to future generations. AMA is dedicated to helping those who otherwise would not be able to pursue music instruction. As a part of our mission, AMA awards a limited number of scholarships based on financial need. Depending upon the availability of funds, the AMA Scholarship Committee reviews scholarship applications for two funding cycles, February and August. Approved scholarships are awarded for a six-month period for full or partial payment of tuition up to $110 per month per student.
We need music now more than ever. Scholarship recipients are eligible to apply again at the end of the scholarship period. When reviewing applications, the Scholarship Committee primarily considers the applicant’s financial need, the instructor’s feedback about the applicant, and the applicant’s stated reasons for pursuing music lessons. This program is made possible thanks to the generous support of individual donors and foundations, including the Bramlage and Willcoxon Foundation, the family of Eric Elder, the family of George Paley, the family of Grant Sackrider and the family of Spencer Haynes. Completed applications are due by Friday, July 1, 2022 and can be completed and submitted using this form. If you require a paper application, please contact us at
