The “AHS Kids’ Camp Fund” makes summer music camp a reality for a young harpist who might otherwise not have such an opportunity. Instead of a camp experience, this year the award may be used to attend the AHS 50th Anniversary Conference in New York City. A $500 award will be given to a promising young harp student on the basis of great financial need.
Application deadline is March 15, 2012

- Applicant must be a member of the American Harp Society.
