When writing your recommendation please indicate your reasons for considering this student to be a musically talented and/or gifted individual in addition to being a student in need of financial assistance. The bylaws of the CMF state that the Foundation is organized to provide music scholarships for private lessons to “musically talented and/or gifted” students who are in “financial need”.  The Board considers the recommendations of music teachers to determine whether the applicant qualifies as musically talented and/or gifted.  The Board uses free or reduced school lunch program guidelines to determine financial need.
