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. The award winners are selected by the Board in consultation with the candidates’ teachers. We congratulate this years award winners: Kaila Burgess and Brian Dismukes, and their teachers Marion Tignor and Keiko Ishikaawa of the Trenton Community Music School who will be honored at the September 28th 2002 Musicale.

Scholarship Winners: Kaila Burgess and Brian Dismukes with Charles Skinner and John Bleimaier from the Steinway Board
