From the parent of a GTCYS scholarship recipient:
“My son had been a member of GTCYS for several years and was working his way up through the various orchestras, improving his musical ability in a dramatic fashion with each passing year. After a long career with the airline, I received a pink slip from my job. At the time, I approached GTCYS for possible financial aid so my son could continue. My situation was handled with great dignity and trust. Within weeks, I was notified that GTCYS would give my son a scholarship for all but $50.00 for the entire upcoming year. My son went on through GTCYS due to your help, and he graduated from Symphony. He is now a music performance major at St. Thomas with a full scholarship. This never would have happened, had GTCYS not extended a helping hand in time of extreme need, with few questions asked. I have never forgotten that generosity.”
