The Dorothy Beyerle Scholarship was created in 1990 after a generous donation was made to the McCall Music Society in memory of our dear friend and arts patron, Dorothy Beyerle. Since that time the scholarship has received numerous contributions from individuals, the society’s original Summerfest fund, the MMS endowment, and the general fund. The MMS board put aside part of the funds to create its own endowment for future scholarships. The purpose of this scholarship is to assist talented and dedicated young local musicians.
The applicant must be (1) five to eighteen years of age and (2) must be a resident of the McCall, Donnelly, New Meadows, or Cascade areas.
Scholarships may be used for two purposes: (1) summer music camps or (2) other musical pursuits.
The MMS board has found that summer music camps are a wonderful way to integrate summer fun with exceptional music training, therefore this is the major focus for this scholarship. There are many great camps right here in Idaho.
You may also apply for a scholarship that may further your horizons in other ways such as funds toward a new instrument, or ongoing summer music lessons.
