The Miles Applebaum Music Scholarship Fund announces that applications are now be accepted for qualified high school Juniors and Seniors. The submission deadline for this nationally recognized music pre-college mentoring program is February 15, 2018.

The Miles Applebaum Music Scholarship was created to honor and remember Miles Applebaum, a student at Lagond Music School for many years. Miles' dedication and passion for music plus the training he received at Lagond, awarded him acceptance into eight of his college choices with varying degrees of scholarship monies. Miles' ultimate decision was to attend the Boyer School of Music and Dance at Temple University to pursue his dream of becoming an accomplished jazz guitarist. In 2014, depression caused him to take his life at the age of 21.

The Applebaum family established The Miles Applebaum Music Scholarship to carry on Miles dream by helping provide disadvantaged aspiring musicians an opportunity to ignite their passion and study music at Lagond Music School, where Miles received his training.

This scholarship will give a deserving young musician an opportunity to attend Lagond Music School's College Prep Program. The winner will be mentored throughout the music college application process, core curriculum classes that are required by college admissions offices as well as assistance with written essays, prescreening demos and live auditions. The scholarship is $13,000 per year up to two years.
