CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR 2025 SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS!

We have continued announcing the monetary amounts in addition to places. You will see a lot of variance in the number of awards per scholarship fund, as well as in the amount of the awards. This variance is due to the value of the scholarship funds, as we take a certain percentage to use for scholarship awards annually. Please note that the award amounts may change in the years to follow, depending on the fund performance and number of applicants. The incredible number of awards and amount of money that is available to Berks County music students is the direct result of a generous community that has invested in the future of music for generations. Honorable Mentions are listed alphabetically, not by score.

All students will receive their comment sheets from the adjudicators, and award recipients will receive information on how their award can be used, all in the week following their auditions. Parents have shared with us that due to the large number of awards, using the search function is one of the best ways to look through the page for a specific name.
