#LoveMusic Dr. Stephen L. Gage Memorial Scholarship
This scholarship was established in 2023 by Gage family and friends of Dr. Stephen L. Gage. Dr. Gage served as Director of Bands and Orchestra at the Dana School of Music for 28 years from 1993-2021. During those years, he influenced the lives of thousands of students, helping them to develop their passion for music and honing their skills for sharing that passion. He constantly encouraged his students, present as well as former, to “be the music” and “dare to be great.” This scholarship continues that legacy by providing support for students who demonstrate Dr. Gage’s catchphrase “#lovemusic”. An eligible student(s) for this scholarship must be enrolled full-time in the Dana School of Music, majoring in music education or music performance. They must be an undergraduate student in their 2nd, 3rd, or 4th year with a minimum 3.0 GPA. Preference will be given to student(s) performing in the band or orchestra program.
Student(s) must write a 300-500 word essay. What does “love music” mean to you? How will you help others to “love music”? How would this scholarship help you pursue this? This essay and a letter of recommendation must be submitted to the Dean of the Cliffe College of Creative Arts.
