In 2000 the Society also established a new developmental scholarship for students in need of financial support to continue their piano study and expanded this program in 2002. In 2011 it was rededicated to our long-time board member and scholarship chairperson Professor Harriet Chase upon her retirement. The award winners are selected by the Board in consultation with the candidates’ teachers.

We congratulate this years award winner: Aaliyah Dennis, and her teacher Marina Salganik who were honored at the March 18th 2012 Musicale.

Scholarship Winner: Aaliyah Dennis with Charles Skinner, President of Steinway Society, and Marina Salganik, Aaliyah’s teacher.
