    • The Elyce Fishman Scholarship Fund from the Wheatland Music Organization. "The purpose of the Elyce Fishman Scholarship Fund is to provide funding to enable residents, giving preference to children and adults from the mid-Michigan area, to enhance their growth and education in the areas of traditional music, dance, arts and crafts.  Traditional arts are learned person to person, passed from generation to the next, and influenced by culture, family, ethnicity, and era; they often represent a place or a group of people and can express the thoughts and feeling of a point in history.  Examples of traditional music are folk music, old-time, bluegrass, Cajun, French Canadian, blues, Great Lakes, and more." The application can be found on this page.

  • If finances continue to be the only barrier to your child's ability to participate in our program, please let us know, and we can see how we can further assist you.
