Each year, the Music Hall is proud to support the youth of our local communities by awarding Music Scholarships to promising young musicians. The scholarships are awarded to graduating seniors from the Merrimack Valley who plan to major in a music-related field at college in the fall. The scholarship program began in 1974 with an award of one scholarship of $200. Now, the Music Hall regularly awards two scholarships of $1,000 each. In some years an additional scholarship has been able to be offered through support from the Methuen Young People’s Theatre. To date, 98 students have received a total of $77,000 in awards. Scholarships have gone to students majoring in a range of music-related fields, including music, instrumental or vocal performance, music education, composition, musical theater and acoustical engineering. These scholarships are made possible by the continued support of the public through attendance at the Music Hall’s scholarship concerts and through donations to the Music Hall’s scholarship fund. The Music Hall very much appreciates this generous support.

The Music Hall is a non-profit organization qualified under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Contributions to the Music Hall to support the Music Scholarship program, which will be most gratefully received and are tax deductible as allowed by law, may be made at the Music Hall when a concert is given or sent to the Methuen Memorial Music Hall, P.O. Box 463, Methuen, MA 01844.

NEW FOR 2025: Our scholarship application will be available online. Additional information will be available by December 2024.
