Named Annual Scholarships
The Interlochen Annual Fund provides additional scholarship funding for hundreds of our students each year. Thirty percent of Interlochen campers experience a life-changing summer because they receive financial assistance, and nearly 70% of Academy students enjoy an interdisciplinary, arts-focused education because of this aid. A large portion of financial aid comes from Named Annual Scholarships, which are created and renewed annually to support and unlock young artists’ potential. Donors, like those listed here, establish these scholarships with a $10,000 or more recurring gift, or a $5,000 recurring gift that is also supported through the donor’s estate.
FULFILLING A MISSION The Ella Fitzgerald Charitable Foundation was created and funded by the First Lady of Song to help people of all races, cultures, and beliefs by fostering a love of reading and music. For nearly 20 years, the foundation has provided promising young musicians an Interlochen experience as one way of fulfilling that mission. Since 2001, 57 young artists from across the country have flourished at Interlochen as recipients of either the Ella Fitzgerald Foundation Camp or Academy Annual Scholarship.
“The time I have here is precious and I am so grateful for your generosity. Music is such a huge part of my life and being at Interlochen is an absolute gift.” — Ella Fitzgerald Foundation Camp Scholar, Emily Mitchell (IAC 18-19)
