Chopin Foundation of the United States Scholarship

Chopin Foundation of the United States

The purpose of the Chopin Foundation Scholarship Program is to support and encourage young, talented American pianists through up to four years of preparation for the National Chopin Piano Competition of the United States, which is held in Miami, Florida, every five years.

Renewable scholarships are awarded each year on a competitive basis to outstanding young American pianists who demonstrate a special affinity for the interpretation of Frédéric Chopin’s music. In addition, the Scholarship Committee may grant half-awards to qualified applicants. A half-award may be granted to an applicant only once during the four-year program. Decisions of the Scholarship Committee are final and not open to discussion.
