Member Benefits and Recognition

The Shepherd Society offers multiple levels of membership with an array of events and programs to enjoy.

• A gift at the Award Donor level ($5,000) or higher directly benefits a specific Shepherd School student.
• Endowed scholarships provide lifetime membership in The Shepherd Society and may be structured over time (up to five years), or established through a planned gift.

All proceeds from the Shepherd Society directly support student scholarships. Your gift will allow us to continue to provide exceptional learning opportunities for our students who are developing into leaders of the classical music world.
