Inspire the Next Generation of Musical Greatness
In just 50 years, the Shepherd School has attracted star faculty and gifted students who have pushed us into the top echelon of music schools. From the beginning, the Shepherd Society has changed students’ lives through vital scholarship support.
Looking forward, the Shepherd Society will grow its membership by including all annual donations; both student scholarship support and gifts to our new Annual Fund will offer Society membership privileges.
Every note performed, every artist nurtured, every audience moved - your generosity makes it all possible.
New Annual Fund Opportunities
The newly created Annual Fund provides donors with new opportunities to engage by supporting the Shepherd School with current-use, unrestricted funds to support students, programs, and our remarkable facilities. Your gift has an immediate impact, enhancing student life, faculty excellence, and performance opportunities.

Annual Scholarship Support
Annual scholarship support enables talented students to pursue their dreams and share their gifts with the world. For many young musicians, tuition costs and future debt are deciding factors in considering whether to continue honing their craft at Rice. Shepherd Society-funded scholarships play a critical role in attracting today’s most gifted young musicians to study at Rice.
