Applications for the Second Annual Tai Hei Shakuhachi Scholarship are
now being accepted.
This scholarship is dedicated to the memory of our dear friend Masuda
Shuho, shakuhachi maker from Kawasaki, Japan who passed away in 2001.
It is called the Masuda Shuho Memorial Scholarship.
Tai Hei Shakuhachi is offering $1,000 scholarship annually to a
deserving person or persons wishing to develop and enhance their
involvement with the shakuhachi and its music. The award will be
presented in whole or part to one or more applicants. This
scholarship is an effort to encourage and promote interest in
shakuhachi and its traditional music abroad. For this reason, it is
limited to players residing outside of Japan.
The scholarship is not intended for professional players or teachers
of shakuhachi, but for their students and others who aspire to learn
the instrument. All others, regardless of age, gender, nationality,
race, religion or group affiliation, are encouraged to apply.
Applicants who have bypassed for the award can reapply as many times
as possible in subsequent years.
Awarding the stipend will take into account financial need as well as
talent and ability of the applicant. Applicants will be asked to
provide some basic information, write an autobiography and encouraged
to submit letters of recommendation. The name of the recipient(s)
will be announced as soon as possible after the December 15, 2005
deadline for submission.

Last year three scholarships were given. Many thanks to those who
have generously donated so that we were able to expand this year's
awards.
All the best,
Monty & Kayo Levenson
