Master Class Funding
One of the most important contributions that the CCMpower Board of Trustees can make to the arts community is to provide funding for CCM Faculty and Students.

Through this financial support, CCMpower encourages exceptional artistic expression, enhanced education, community involvement in the arts and inspiring career growth for CCM students.

Master Class Funding—opportunities to bring in guest artists to enhance artistic and educational growth for CCM students.

A special panel comprised of at least three members of the CCMpower Liaison and Awards Committee will review and approve requests Master Classes.

During the 2025-26 academic year, funding typically will not exceed $500 per master class.

Recipients will be notified within approx. 30 days of submission of the application.

It's our goal to power the arts by recognizing and supporting the extraordinary in CCM students and alumni.
