NEED-BASED SCHOLARSHIPS establish an unprecedented promise to meet the full demonstrated financial need of every admitted aspiring young artist from around the globe
Herrick Foundation It is a profound gift to plant a tree so that generations to come may enjoy its shade. After decades of such visionary support for Interlochen, supporting a wide range of initiatives and projects, the Herrick Foundation planted its largest-yet gift to Interlochen in 2022: a leadership gift whose reach and impact will grow from year to year, unlocking the creative potential of generations of young artists. The Foundation made a five-year pledge to invest in Interlochen’s Endowed Academy Scholarship in Music. The gift establishes perpetual support for Academy students in classical music with demonstrated financial need. The endowment supported its first scholarship award for the 2023-24 academic year. The recipient says the gift has been transformational in her studies and vital in her ability to come to Interlochen.
Having little money, I was worried that I may
not have been able to attend [Interlochen], but
thanks to your donation, I was blessed with
a spot in the oboe studio, [and] I have made
great progress. This year, so far, I have received
two solos. This was made possible due to the
excellent teachers I have been honored to work
with. But it was you who gave me the ability
to even attend Interlochen Arts Academy. I
sincerely appreciate this special gift you have
given me, and I work as hard as possible to
show my appreciation. Thank you for blessing
me with this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Your generosity will be cherished forever.
