Štipendije za slovenske študente klasične glasbe iz skladov Kerže na Akademiji za glasbo Thornton na Univerzi Južna Kalifornija v Los Angelesu – PRELIMINARNA INFORMACIJA
Akademija za glasbo Thornton (Thornton School of Music) na Univerzi Južna Kalifornija (University of Southern California - USC) v Los Angelesu nudi možnost štipendij za slovenske študente glasbe. Sredstva za štipendije so na voljo iz dveh skladov in sicer:
1) Therese Kerze Cheyovich Endowment Fund ter
2) The Frank Kerze and Florence Kerze - Dunphy Scholarship Fund for the Study of Music.
Oba sklada sta bila ustanovljena na željo družine Kerže, ki se je v ZDA preselila iz Slovenije. Pokojni člani družine so sredstva iz svoje zapuščine namenili slovenskim študentom, da bi jim tako omogočili glasbeno izobraževanje na Univerzi Južna Kalifornija ter jim dali možnost kulturne izkušnje in udejstvovanja v ZDA.
Sklad Frank Kerze and Florence Kerze - Dunphy Scholarship Fund for the Study of Music je namenjen slovenskim podiplomskim študentom glasbenih predmetov (magistrskim študentom, doktorskim študentom in študentom specialističnega študija – t.i. certificate).
Sklad Therese Kerze Cheyovich Endowment Fund je namenjen v prvi vrsti dodiplomskim in podiplomskim slovenskim študentom klasične glasbe (stopenj BA, MA, ter doktorskim študentom in študentom specializacije – t.i. certificate) in sicer primarno študentom čela, kot glavnega inštrumenta.
Kandidati, ki želijo pričeti s študijem na Akademiji za glasbo Thornton v študijskem letu 2024/25, morajo prijavo oddati do 1. 12. 2023. Prijave se bodo odprle avgusta 2023.

Scholarships from Kerže trusts for Slovenian students at the University of Southern California Thornton School of Music – PRELIMINARY INFORMATION
The Thornton School of Music at the University of Southern California (USC) in Los Angeles shall grant scholarships to students from music academies in Slovenia. These scholarships are made possible by:
1) Therese Kerze Cheyovich Endowment Fund
2) Frank Kerze and Florence Kerze - Dunphy Scholarship Fund for the Study of Music.
The two trusts were established by the Kerže family with an aim to provide an opportunity for Slovenian students to receive the education and training at the USC Thornton School of Music, to familiarize them with U.S. culture and to provide opportunities to gain U.S. exposure of their musical talents. Extremely proud of their Slovenian origin, the Kerže Family wanted in this way to honor their Slovenian ancestry.
The scholarships from Frank Kerze and Florence Kerze - Dunphy Scholarship Fund for the Study of Music will be awarded to one or more qualified students of music to support their graduate-level studies leading to a certificate, Master’s and/or doctoral degree in the field of music at the USC Thornton School of Music. The scholarships from Therese Kerze Cheyovich Endowment Fund will be awarded to one or more qualified students of music to support their undergraduate or graduate studies leading to a certificate and / or a Bachelor’s, Master’s and/or doctoral degree at the USC Thornton School of Music. The donor for this particular scholarship preferred that recipients play the cello as their primary musical instrument.
Once awarded a scholarship from the fund, a returning candidate can continue to receive the scholarship each year until s/he completes his/her academic program. Scholarship funds may be awarded for tuition, fees, and living/other expenses.
In order to receive scholarships, candidates must apply for and be accepted into the applicable degree and/ or certificate program pursuant to the policies of the USC Thornton School of Music.
The application deadline to be considered for admission to the fall semester of 2024 is December 1, 2023. Applications will open in August 2023.
