Detroit, MI – September 2024
The Detroit Musicians Fund is pleased to announce it will offer its 2024 scholarship, to a
talented student of classical music. This will be the 6th year of an alternating system,
accepting applications from college students performing in either jazz or classical music.
The 2024 DMF Scholarship Competition will be open to students of classical music.
The DMF will once again offer its annual music scholarship award in the amount of $1,000.
“Thanks to a generous anonymous donation the Fund received in 2017, we are able to offer
this scholarship to a deserving college music student,” explained former board secretary,
Helen Near. “We thank our special benefactor and all of our benefactors for making this
annual award possible.”
The DMF Scholarship will be awarded to a deserving instrumental music major (either
performance or education), who is studying full-time or has been accepted at a college,
university or conservatory, and is either a Michigan resident, or a graduate from a Michigan
high school. All interested instrumental classical music students are welcomed and
encouraged to apply by the deadline below.
The Detroit Musicians Fund is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation, founded by the Detroit
Federation of Musicians (AFM Local 5), for the purpose of assisting union musicians in dire
need and providing scholarships to college music students. Donations to the Detroit
Musicians Fund are tax-exempt to the extent allowable by law.
Interested classical music students should contact the DMF for more information, and an

announced in December 2024. More information, and an application form, can also be
