A named annual scholarship is your opportunity to make a yearly gift to Interlochen while sustaining and growing our scholarship program. A named scholarship can be established with a $10,000 or more recurring gift, or a $5,000 recurring gift that is also supported through the donor’s estate. One example is the William L. Hart Annual Trumpet scholarship. Bill attended the All-State program as part of Interlochen Arts Camp in 1953 and 1955 and returned to Interlochen in 1959 as an IAC staff member. Bill toured with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra early in his career and later in life played trumpet in the Rhythm Society Orchestra dance band specializing in vintage swing music based in Detroit.

"I can't express my gratitude for your generosity. My family and I appreciate it! I love my teachers and feel I have formed great connections at Interlochen. I have learned so much during my time here, and have discovered things I didn't even know existed. Thank you so much for this opportunity." — Savannah (IO 20; IAA 20-21) William L.
