Chester
J. Petranek and the Ruth A. Albright
College Scholarship
Established in 1996, the Chester J. Petranek College
Scholarship is awarded annually to a senior with outstanding talent on an
orchestral instrument, with the exception of piano. The awardees must have
participated in MCYO for at least two consecutive years and must be
intending to pursue a career in music. Winners are selected based on a
variety of criteria including academic performance, financial need, an
audition before a committee, and a personal interview. The Ruth
Albright scholarship was established in 2007 with similar guidelines as the
Chester Petranek Scholarship, but will be limited to a string player.

The
Andreas and Margaret Makris College Scholarship
In September 2006, Mrs.
Margaret Makris presented MCYO with a $50,000 endowment in memory of her late husband Andreas Makris, a renowned
violinist and composer. Mr. Makris had composed a work entitled
“Antithesis” for MCYO in 1996, on the occasion of MCYO’s 50th
Anniversary Celebration.
In the Spring of 2007, MCYO established the Andreas and Margaret Makris College Scholarship.
The terms of this scholarship specify that it be presented to:
|
"A senior who has displayed loyalty
and dedication through
participation in the MCYO program: a musician who, from an early
age, was nurtured by MCYO, who developed his or her talents and
advanced through the MCYO program; a musician who has excelled and who
desires to pursue music
in college." |
