Revised - December, 1999 

The Tuesday Musical Club Scholarship Program was established in 1919 to help further the musical education of talented young area musicians. Projects to create a fund for this purpose were carried out between 1919 and 1927. In 1927, a committee was appointed to form the policies on eligibility and to set up auditions. The first scholarship was awarded in 1928 to pianist Marilla Kohary, who used her award for study in New York.
