Fine Arts Scholarship Program

St. Michael Lutheran Church & School, Ft. Myers, FL, is concluding the first academic year of a new fine arts initiative uniting church and school. One of the goals of the new Share the Music scholarship program is to share God's joyous gift of music from generation to generation. The program focuses awareness on our fine arts program while regularly integrating it into the congregation. It strengthens the school's fine arts program, gives confidence to the students themselves, and enriches our worship services. 

Students in the program commit to weekly lessons with a professional instructor in the community, which generous members of the St. Michael congregation pay for through scholarship donations. The six students pictured above have risen to the challenge and become leaders within their respective ensembles on campus.
