How do I apply for a Music Teacher's Playbook Scholarship?
​
Our MTP Scholarship Application is an easy process but will require some thoughtful responses and creativity on your part. We highly recommend that you prepare the video portion of the application before filling out the Google Form!
You’ll need to answer all of the questions in our MTP Scholarship Application Google Form for your application to receive consideration.
These scholarships are needs-based, so we’ll ask short-answer questions like:
-
What do you currently do to earn income?
-
What's the overall range of your income per year?
-
What's your total household income per year?
These questions are to help us verify your eligibility to receive a needs-based scholarship for MTP.
Now, here’s the fun part!
Create a 1–2-minute video essay (à la TikTok) where you will answer the following:
-
Tell us about yourself!
-
Share why you deserve a scholarship for MTP.
-
What is your dream career, and how will MTP help you get there?
-
Share a fun fact about you!
Next, you’ll create an unlisted YouTube or Vimeo link and copy-paste it into the answer box found on the MTP Scholarship Application. This will only be viewed by members of the Scholarship Committee and the KE Creative Team.
If you have any additional questions about the application process or eligibility requirements, please send us a message at info[at]katherineemeneth.com
