The Irene S. Ator/AGO Music Scholarship
The Irene S. Ator/AGO Music Scholarship began in 2002 to help young organists in Fort Wayne and Allen County receive proper training in the early stages of their keyboard skills development. To date, the Scholarship has awarded funds to more than 20 students to help further their studies toward becoming qualified church musicians. Once applications have been reviewed each spring, students will be scheduled for an audition that usually take place in late May or early June. All deserving young students that meet the requirements will be considered. The 2025 application forms are now posted below.
Applicant Eligibility Requirements:
- Must be a resident of Allen County, Indiana
- Must be a piano or organ student
- Must be in high school or college (8th grade graduates may apply)
