Sara Tucker Study Grant
Sara Tucker Grants are supported by a generous grant from the Agnes Varis Trust
Sara Tucker Study Grant winners are selected each year for unrestricted grants of $5,000 each. A Study Grant candidate should be making the transition from student to professional singer. A candidate should have recently completed a graduate degree program or work in a young artist or Apprentice program at a regional company and is generally under 30 years of age. Such singers have had various performing opportunities, but not in major roles.
