Scholarship Description

The MTAM Scholarship is sponsored by the Music Therapy Association of Minnesota.

Prospective Music Therapy Interns who demonstrate a significant financial need are encouraged to apply for the MTAM scholarship.  Recipients will be chosen based upon a single-page essay outlining musical inspirations. In addition please include a resume, a transcript (unofficial is OK), description of extracurricular activities and proof of internship in Minnesota.
