[MASTA] MASTA Grant Application Deadline Approaching – April 1

[Joanna Van Eizenga]

Dear MASTA Members,

Our state chapter has money set aside to offer grants to support special
programs and teacher professional development. The next grant application
deadline is coming up on Wednesday, April 1. This grant cycle is for events
that take place between June 1 and September 30, 2026.

Program Grants (up to $500) assist string programs in providing instruction
or other enhancement activities - clinics, artists in residency, special
projects, etc. These grants are generally not awarded toward the purchase
of supplies or equipment.

Professional Development Grants (up to $250) help individuals pursue
education or training that will enhance their string playing and/or
teaching.
