director, person with musical background, etc.).

stamped envelope to:
The
Piano Santa Foundation

This
scholarship is awarded every two years at the same
time as the Grand Scholarship. Applicants
must be current PSF students or alumni. The recipient
will be the candidate who the Foundation feels will
most benefit from the use of this piano.
Both
the Stepping Stone and Grand scholarship recipients
perform at community concert events. If you know
of an event or venue that might be appropriate
for a performance, please contact the Foundation
with your suggestions.
