The Berkeley Piano Club currently sponsors young musicians and serious music students through the Emerging Artists Grants-in-Aid Fund and the Van Waynen Fund, in addition to other bequests.

Please check back for the most current application forms, which will be available by early December 2024, for awards in Spring 2025. We welcome applications from musicians in all instruments and voice, from 17 to 28, who reside or study within the nine Bay Area counties.

For eligibility questions, don’t hesitate to email scholarships@berkeleypianoclub.org
