Studies have shown that students who complete music courses score higher on their SAT’s or ACT’s, have
higher GPAs and receive more academic honors than their counterparts. But once they graduate from high
school, it is not a test score but a love for music and performing that drives them to continue their
studies.
Those who aspire to be exceptional musicians are often faced with fierce competition - competition that
makes many reconsider a future in the music business. Because a postsecondary education is costly
regardless of major and students are frequently forced to opt for better-paid, more secure fields, the
ones they know will make it easier to earn a living and pay down their student loans.
This is an unfortunate side effect of the rising tuition costs, but we’re determined to reverse the
trend through providing deserving students with a music scholarship. The Penn Fund offers performing
arts scholarships for students looking for an opportunity to enhance their love for the performing arts;
The Penn Fund is THE place to look.
The Penn Fund is dedicated to helping students pursue a career based on their interests rather than
their finances. And that’s just the beginning. Performing Arts /Music to our ears!
