merit-based
Thank you for your support and donation
access MERIT SCHOLARSHIPS help Interlochen compete successfully for top young artists whose passion and talent earn them numerous options to pursue their artistic aspirations Interlochen offers something incredible and unique for its students: the opportunity not only to learn from some of the world’s best instructors, but also to be inspired by some of the world’s most talented, fellow young artists. Interlochen parents Bruce Corner and Gaye Gronlund were moved by the transformative experiences of their son Colin (IAC 97-98, IAA 98-99) to establish an endowed merit scholarship in honor of Colin’s double bass teacher, Larry Hurst. The Lawrence Hurst Double Bass Endowed Camp Scholarship provides support for talented double bass players of high school age to attend Camp. Hurst guided Colin through his summers at Camp and then through Indiana University (where he was also on faculty), which led Colin to performing positions with the Oregon Symphony, Grant Park Orchestra, and New Century Chamber Orchestra, among other ensembles, as well as a teaching position at Portland State University. The scholarship honors the impact Larry has had upon generations of Interlochen artists — he has taught at Camp most summers between 1967 and 2024 — and is also funded in part by Larry and his wife, Celeste.
making this possible. It means the world to
me. Words cannot describe the amount of
appreciation, gratitude, and validation [of my
efforts] that this has given me as a musician.
This camp is such an incredible place to be.
With incredible, percussion-sound-filled
rooms, to the incredible teachers: this is a
one-of-a-kind place, and a once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity and experience that I will cherish
forever.

Thank you so much for your generous donations. It truly means the world that I was able
to work with world-renowned maestro Cristian Măcelaru and [violinist] Ray Chen just
last week. I have made so many lifelong bonds already and have really started to see the
improvement in my musical skills... Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
