Description
MPower Artist Grants are competitive scholarships designed to empower alumni of the Sphinx Competition (Semi-Finalists and/or Laureates), Sphinx Symphony, Sphinx Virtuosi, Sphinx Honors Orchestra, Sphinx Performance Academy, Sphinx Medals of Excellence, Sphinx LEAD, EXIGENCE, NAAS and/or SOPA (must have submitted a first round recording and/or participated in the live round) to achieve their career objectives in classical music.
Grants will range based on the scope, need, and nature of each competitive application. Grants may begin at $1,000 with an average award amount of $10,000. Requests exceeding $15,000 will not be accepted.
The primary purpose of MPower Artist Grants is to empower artists’ careers. As such, competitive applications should clearly illustrate that impact; making the merit case for a particular project or its service to the community should play a secondary role. MPower does not generally focus on tuition for higher education/summer programs nor the purchase of new instruments, though they may be considered as exceptions.
