Young classical guitarists, this opportunity is for you! 🎶

The Marton L. Carroll Guitar Grant is now accepting applications from classical guitarists ages 16–23 in the Midwest Region. This incredible grant provides one student with a handmade, concert-quality classical guitar built by luthier Kieth Adams.

The instrument becomes the personal property of the recipient, helping support and inspire their continued growth and mastery as a musician. The long-term goal of this grant is to strengthen the Midwest as a center for classical guitar study and performance.

Applications are due June 30, 2026.
