The 2026-27 Annual Christine Cherrington Memorial Scholarship Applications are now being accepted for local music students!

The Christine Cherrington Memorial Scholarship Fund was created to support music study for local students of all ages. Since its inception, the fund, administered by Cascadia Music, has assisted hundreds of young valley musicians. The program offers a 50% scholarship on the cost of music lessons with local music teachers for students whose household income falls at or below the amount shown for their household size in the chart on the form. These guidelines have been recently updated; we are open to feedback, and encourage ANYONE to apply.
