The Bond Scholars are awarded to a Junior Division student(s), grades 6 – 8, in good standing during the previous year. This award recognizes their exemplary involvement in Project STEP as we look forward to their continued success for years to come. The selection of the Bond Scholars is determined by the following criteria:
1. Merit–The scholarships will honor two Junior Division Students who have demonstrated proficiency on their instruments.
2. Dedication–The scholarships will be awarded to students who have demonstrated the high level of dedication to practice, hard work, and persistence necessary to achieve a high-intermediate level of competence on his/her instrument.
3. Community Involvement–The scholarships will recognize the outstanding level of community involvement the students have demonstrated through outreach performances.
A special thank you to the Boston Society of the New Jerusalem for their generous support in honor of Carlton Doctor. Note: proper to 2023 this was the George James Webb Scholarship.
The Arthur Kravitz Scholarship was established by Barbara Kravitz in 2007. In honor of her late husband Arthur Kravitz’s love for music, one advanced student will be selected each year to receive the award. Dr. Kravitz was deeply committed to Project STEP and passionately supported the program’s mission.
