Details:
Watching some of her students struggle with the financial burden was heartbreaking to Laurie. Whenever possible, she would put them on her own personal scholarship – free lessons. The goal is to be a grant of $10,000 awarded to an extraordinarily talented player every two years: a grant that would be life changing.
The grant favors projects that emphasize musical development and growth over funding commercial recordings.
Eligibility Criteria 
Eligibility is open to US-based jazz brass players between the ages of 18-25 years who are currently not under professional management. Beginning this cycle, the grant now includes lead trumpet applicants. All applicants must be 25 or under as of June 1, 2024. Applicants need not be currently enrolled in an academic institution.
