🌈💖 Summer Scholarship Fund (units of $10)
🌈Help us change lives through the power of music, meditation, self care & wellness programs 🎵🧘♀️🌺
This scholarship fund provides tuition assistance for dedicated students — from children to adults — who might not otherwise have access to lessons or camps.
These scholarships are offered in loving memory of two beautiful souls who deeply shaped my arts & wellness journey:
😇💖 David Elliott, a cherished musician friend and personal mentor & supportive influence
😇💖 Natalie Clark, a beloved student whose spirit continues to inspire my teaching and heart-centered approach.
🌈 WHO THIS SUPPORTS
Scholarships are given to students who demonstrate a combination of financial need plus the following arts & wellness factors:
FOR MUSIC & ARTS, I look for:
🎨 A passion for the arts and desire to grow & learn
🎯 Dedication to practice & progress
🤝 A positive, cooperative spirit
💖 A need for encouragement, empowerment, or support
🌟 A willingness to perform or volunteer at our events
FOR MEDITATION & MINDSET, I look for:
🌿 Challenges with high stress & anxiety, difficulty with self love, feelings of overwhelm, or other factors blocking emotional wellness
💖 A need for encouragement, empowerment, support & self care practices
🧘🏻♀️ Dedication to practice & progress
And many students cross over into both categories, so the scholarship often allows for the development of creative coping skills & therapeutic arts experiences.
🌈 Thanks to our community, last year's scholarship funds have:
💖 Supported 2 single moms with tuition assistance
🎵 Allowed a music student to return to lessons after a parent temporarily lost work
🎭 Helped a young performer prepare for a dream: acceptance into performing arts school!
🎓 Reduced costs for young college students paying for their own lessons
🌿 Provided meditation support & musical stress relief for a mother during a major life crisis
I can’t wait to see who it helps this year! 🌈🥰
💫 HOW IT WORKS
💖 Donations are in $10 increments➕ Adjust quantity to choose your amount (Qty 3 = $30, etc.)
🌈 100% of contributions go directly toward helping students access lessons, camps, creative programs & wellness experiences that support confidence, self expression, healing & personal growth ✨
🌺 Any remaining funds roll over to the next session until needed
🎵PLEASE NOTE:
Because A Cup of Rainbows is a private educational studio, contributions are not tax-deductible — but they are deeply appreciated and truly make a meaningful difference in the lives of these students & their families 💖
🙏 THANK YOU for your kindness, generosity & support — it truly helps keep creativity, confidence, music & emotional wellness accessible for our community 🌈✨
P.S. If you’d like to share a memory of David or Natalie, or note how music has impacted you or someone in your life, I’d love to include it on our scholarship story & memorial wall 💌
