My 17 year old nephew is studying music with a view to taking a degree. He has searched on the internet to see if there are any grants or help available, but all he can find is help for classical music students. My nephew is studying contemporary music and specializes in rock music. He wants to be a session musician and also teach. He plays lead, bass guitar and also keyboards.
There is federal grant money in the form of music grants or other art grants to help students who are interested in furthering their education this way, especially if they want to teach down the road.
“I am a senior in high school and am planning on my major being vocal performance. Are there any grants or scholarships for music students in North Carolina that I could apply for?”
Using Federal grant money in the form of a music grant or education grant is an excellent way to further your education. For students interested in getting into the arts there are even more scholarships and grants available. Begin by filling out a FAFSA form to see what kind of aid you qualify for. Good luck!
My 17 year old neighbor wants to study to be a session musician, focusing on guitar.

In 2008 the Muzak Heart & Soul foundation’s Music Matters Grant Program awarded 84,000 to help support music eduucation in 23 schools across the United States. The following is a photo slideshow of randomly selected schools that were awarded grants.
With a lot of public schools cutting funding for music and art, now is the time to check into music grants to help pay for what used to be public school standards. Check into using grant money to cover private lessons or music camps to keep the arts from disappearing!
There are a lot of music grants out there to help get started on a non-profit business, especially one involving giving back to your community by providing resources to low income families. Making sure that these children have access to something as important and basic as music lessons is a fantastic way to contribute. Check into Local, State and Federal grants to help pay for your startup costs, including equipment and space rental/purchase. Have a business plan in hand and start checking around!
One of the teachers at a local school in our area is a rising music composer. He’s been giving away music and lessons to local kids to help keep up their interest in music, which I agree is a valuable way to contribute to our community. The only problem is, he’s running out of funds and is needing equipment and space to continue composing music and giving lessons. A music grant would be an excellent way to purchase new equipment and maybe a small studio to keep him in the business of giving back to his community. Since he’s non-profit, he’d be considered for a good amount of State and Federal grants. Consider inspiring your community in this way, using grant money the way it’s intended to be used!
Considering starting your own business? How about a music label? There are many government AND private music grants out there that will help you with startup costs.

There are Christian grants and music grants provided by local, state and federal agencies to help pay for non-profit events like this. Think of the good it would do a community to have events like this! Check around with local religious groups and churches to start; they may already know of where to find funding for something of this nature.
I know of a local organization that hosts a yearly international music competition for young musicians under the age of 32 that come from many different countries. They’re finding their costs rise every year, as they grow and play host to more and more people. They’ve been raising money from sponsors to help cover expenses, but recently began looking for music grants from the federal or state government. Because they play host to so many people from so many different places, a federal grant might cover a good deal of their costs!
