Your application must also include the following items:
- On a separate sheet of paper please give us a BRIEF statement about yourself including how long you have been interested in this field of study and how you feel you would benefit from this camp. This statement MUST BE hand written by the student.
- You must also submit a letter of recommendation written by a teacher or other individual (not a family member) who has witnessed your pursuit of your field of interest. This letter should be written for this scholarship application.
- You MUST attach a copy, from the camp, of the actual cost – your scholarship will not be processed without this information. You must include a copy of your acceptance letter if you have one. If you have not received this yet you will need to send it at a later date.
Other Consideration
- The scholarships for awardees will be disbursed after a copy of the acceptance letter from the camp has been received by the Wilson Foundation through the Lenawee Intermediate School District. The applicant is responsible for ensuring the LISD has a copy of this letter. The camps do not contact the Foundation or LISD. Your scholarship will not be processed without an acceptance letter.
- At least 75% of the classes being taken at the camp must relate to music or the performing arts. The amount of the scholarship awarded will be up to one half of the cost of the camp’s tuition (cost is based on tuition only – any other costs such as clothes, extra lessons, personal accounts, etc. will be participant’s responsibility). The total amount awarded in the program will depend on the number of successful applicants.
- The Lenawee Intermediate School District Foundation will pay the scholarship award directly into the student’s tuition account at the approved camp.
