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 auditions are complete. 2026 application forms will be available here in spring of 2026.
