The Ivan Galamian Memorial Fellowship
The Judith Galamian Memorial Fellowship
The Josef Gingold Memorial Fellowship
The Leonard Rose Memorial Fellowship
The Gregor Piatigorsky Memorial Fellowship
The Stephen Kates Memorial Fellowship

Fellowships have been created to honor the memories and outstanding teaching and leadership by Founder, Ivan Galamian, his wife Judith Galamian and founding faculty members Josef Gingold, Leonard Rose and Gregor Piatigorsky in making the Meadowmount School of Music a premier training ground for future leaders in the professional world.

These awards, that will include full tuition and room and board, are to be given on an annual basis to an outstanding applicant to Meadowmount who would otherwise not be able to attend.

The funding for these awards comes from former students, family, friends and those interested in sustaining Meadowmount’s tradition of attracting students of exceptional talent. Fellowships are funded at a certain level to create an endowment generating yearly fellowships in perpetuity.
