We are very happy to announce that the Scholarship program for the Portal Irish Music Week has returned for 2013! This year, the father of one of our founders has stepped forward and offered a scholarship in honor of his wife and our co-founder’s mother. The Patricia Ryan Zazzali scholarship is open to any adult Traditional Irish Music enthusiast!
One recipient will receive full room, board, and tuition for the 2013 festival! The scholarship winner is responsible for transportation to and from Portal. We’ll help with arranging rides to and from the airport (either Tucson or Phoenix), if needed.
Interested students wishing to apply should submit a recording of themselves playing a tune (a reel or jig), and a one-page essay explaining why they would like to attend PIMW, and how a scholarship would help.
Current enrollees at Portal Irish Music Week 2013 should feel free to apply.
Entries should be e-mailed to susan@portalmusicweek.com by June 14, 2013.
And we’re taking additional donations through PayPal, if you’d like to help offset the cost of the scholarship. (If we receive enough donations, we might even award two scholarships!) If you’d like to donate using a credit card or PayPal Account, use the button below:
