2024 Kodály Summer Institute Scholarships

KFME is excited to be able to offer scholarships for teachers to attend the 2024 Kodály Summer Institute at the University of Redlands in San Anselmo. Last month, the Foundation raised $3,000 to fund scholarships in Gail Needleman’s name. These funds (and more) will be offered to students who enroll in the Kodály Summer Institute (KSI) this summer!

Dates for the 2024 summer course are June 24 – July 12. In celebration of the inaugural Kodály Summer Institute at Redlands, the Foundation will provide $10,000 in scholarships to offset tuition cost.  

Scholarships will be offered as follows: 

  • 5 scholarships valued at $1,000 each (awarded to the first five applicants who are registered in the program)

  • 10 scholarships valued at $500 each (awarded to the first ten applicants who are registered in the program after the $1,000 scholarships have been claimed)

Applications are open now until June 15, 2024.
