Shepherd School Annual Scholarship Program

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.
