APPLY NOW FOR FOUNDATION GRANTS AND SCHOLARSHIPS

Winter Greetings from the Mu Phi Epsilon Foundation Board! My name is Zack Carlson-Giving and as the new president of our board of directors I am excited to share some exciting updates with you!

Before I get to the updates, I want to share a note of gratitude with those who have donated to the Foundation in the last year. Your continued support is what makes it possible for the Foundation to fund the work of our Mu Phi Epsilon siblings. Thank you!

Members must have paid their dues by December 31, 2022, and submit their application(s) by March 1, 2023. We look forward to seeing you at International Convention in Texas!

Large Ensemble Grant ($2,000) will be awarded to an ensemble with at least one member of Mu Phi Epsilon involved in the ensemble. Large ensembles must demonstrate a performance history of at least two years. The Large Ensemble shall consist of 11 or more musicians and shall have a separate conductor. Ensembles with more Mu Phi Epsilon members will be considered to be of particular application strength.
