MMPA Student Financial Awards - For Seniors Only
The Masconomet Music Parent Association provides financial awards at the end of the school year to outstanding graduating seniors who have demonstrated a commitment to the Masconomet music program and a dedication to their musical education. The MMPA awards are intended to encourage students to participate in the Masconomet music program; take advantage of all that the music program provides to students; and develop a passion for music that will last a lifetime. These awards may be used to help pay tuition in pursuing additional studies in music through private lessons, music courses and programs or college and conservatory level music studies.
The following eligibility requirements are necessary for all students applying for an award:
1. Enrollment in at least one Masconomet music group, instrumental or vocal, during the student’s academic years at Masconomet, and active enrollment in a music department program during senior year;
2. Demonstrated leadership and/or mentoring of younger musicians;
3. Active Participation in MMPA fundraising events;
4. Active family participation in at least one MMPA fundraising event or activity;
5. Masco Music Faculty recommendation;
Student attitude, degree of participation in the music program and non-mandatory music events and performances, and commitment to advancing his/her musical education will also be considered. An Awards Committee comprised of community members familiar with the Masconomet Music Program, and who do not have a student currently enrolled in the Masco Music Program, evaluate each award application via a blind application process. To assure the anonymity of each applicant, names are deleted from each application prior to the committee’s review.

An example of the application...
The Masconomet Music Parents Music Award Application is now available. These awards are for Seniors only. The application includes a student portion, parent page and teacher evaluation page. The teacher evaluation page will now be handled by the teachers. The student will simply email his/her music teacher once he/she has submitted the application and the teacher will submit the evaluation page directly to MMPA. It will not be returned to the student.
Please be sure that your student includes the parent page in the award package as applications are incomplete and disqualified without it.
All applications must be postmarked by April 5, 2021. Applications postmarked after April 5th will not be accepted.
Masco Music Parents acknowledges that the 2020-2021 school year is like no other. Therefore, the submitted applications will be reviewed by the outside, independent committee keeping in mind that some opportunities were limited or not available at all. Rather than rewriting the application to reflect these restrictions (hopefully for this single year), MMPA asks that students and parents complete the application (all that applies) with as much detail as possible. The more information the committee has to consider, the better they can evaluate the student.
In regards to the upcoming Shredding Event on April 10th, which comes after the April 5th application due date, the student may list the event on the application if he/she intends to work the event. This information will be verified by an MMPA member working the event-so be sure to sign in!
