Not so very long ago, there lived a young woman with a joy for living and a talent for music. She worked hard to develop her musical skills, focusing her efforts on the harp she loved so much. She planted an herb garden, carefully planning its arrangement for beauty as well as functionality. She met and married the love of her life. And then, suddenly, she was gone. No one knows why these things happen, but we cannot let a life who meant so much to so many go silently into the darkness. We must remember her, and all the beautiful things in life that she loved so dearly. She has left quite a legacy for us...

Jan's family has chosen to remember her through this fund. They work each week to increase awareness of the many ways in which a harp, and a harpist, can touch a life. They seek to encourage those harpists who strive for the same goals that Jan did in her life.

Four scholarships are offered to harpists who are in need of assistance with their pursuit of achieving a more advanced level of accomplishment in the field of performance and service to others. One of the scholarships is designated for enrollment in a harp therapy program.

Eligible harpists are those in need of assistance who are enrolled in the International Harp Therapy Program or a different harp therapy program of their choosing, as well as other programs that advance their levels of performance and service. An additional scholarship is available for a returning Harp Camp attendee. The application asks the reason for applying as well as the intended use of the scholarship.

Complete and mail the application form along with a cassette tape of two selections (not to exceed 4 minutes in total length) to:
