About Us
Motivated By Music (MBM) was created because my son, Justin is a violist (Alumni of PMAY, Musicopia, Project 440, Temple Prep, & Sinfonia). When we were preparing him for college it was difficult to find scholarships outside for musicians. When we did find one there were so many requirements that most times we did not qualify for it. After our experience I decided to create our own scholarship fund.
In November 2021, Motivated By Music was founded. Our goal is to make the scholarship application easy, the scholarship may cover either tuition or room & board, and not to have any disqualifying requirements.
