Scholarships

There are several Scholarship options for students with financial need. We STRONGLY encourage recorder players to apply for an ARS Scholarship.

We also offer a Scholarship for local educators interested in enriching their use of the Recorder in their classroom.

American Recorder Society Scholarships


Many scholarships are available from the American Recorder Society to any ARS member.  You are STRONGLY encouraged to pursue this option.


American Recorder Society members are invited to apply for scholarships to weekend and week long workshops. Scholarships are available to players of all ages and ability levels. Applicants may join the ARS at a special ½ price rate if not already a member.
