Scholarship Details

Beginning this year, Opus 118 teachers will select one or more promising violin students each December for Dorothea von Haeften Scholarships, which will cover 100% tuition for weekly private instruction throughout the spring semester. The scholarships fill a particular need for the organization — general financial aid is awarded at the beginning of the school year, but inevitably new or existing students are identified in the following months who are eager to start private lessons but not able to afford tuition. The Dorothea Von Haeften Scholarships will provide a wonderful opportunity for these students, filling a gap until they are eligible to apply for financial aid for the next school year. 

How to Support

In support of these awards, the organization is establishing a dedicated scholarship fund called the Dorothea von Haeften Opus 118 Harlem School of Music Scholarship Fund. Through the end of 2026, contributions can be made to the fund online under a special “Dorothea von Haeften Scholarship Fund”. Or if mailing checks or sending electronic contributions, please note “Dorothea von Haeften Scholarship Fund” on the check or electronic transaction.  (Opus 118 Harlem School of Music’s mailing address is (PO Box #286798, New York, NY 10128.)
