 NEW STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP AWARD: ANDREW WOLFE

Director has mailed out a letter of approval for a full grant MAAFY scholarship award & music & performance, along with our standard scholarship agreement to be signed by Andrew Wolf & his mother.  We are currently awaiting return of documents with signatures.

 STUDENT ANIKET RAHANE ::: NO INTEREST IN SCHOLARSHIP AWARDED October 28, 2017  >>See Video At Secret Garden Aniket Rahane Performance August 2017

Aniket Rahane was awarded a music & performance scholarship.  Since the teenager had no guitar, MAAFY loaned a Cordoba C7 guitar donated by John Gregorius, recording artist.  The scholarship agreement, however, has never been signed.  S. Pierre made several attempts to communicate with Aniket & his family.  Aniket was a no-show at the last Farmer's Market event.  We are looking at retrieving the guitar, which is property of MAAFY.
