Sponsor a Student

---

Providing financial aid has been part of the history of Pakachoag Music School, since the earliest days of the school.  Requests for tuition assistance are always with us as is our desire to ensure access to the arts for all, regardless of background and circumstance. Sponsor a Student gives the opportunity for donors to create immediate impact today.  With your gift, 100% of every dollar goes directly to a child’s education. Students from preschool through high school will have access to music and the arts.

I never knew that I would have the opportunity you have given me to join the music school.   Since I started taking these classes I have a learned a lot that I never knew…thank you once again and may your kind heart help others…”
