Love Your Fellow Student!

The Pay-It-Forward Fund Scholarship Program

The Pay-It-Forward Fund supports our mission to provide a safe and encouraging environment where students can find their most authentic voice by awarding quarterly scholarships for private lessons at The Voice Lab. 

The Pay-It-Forward Fund was created in April 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic because we know how important it is to maintain a regular lesson schedule, especially during times of uncertainty. Private lessons and other events are helping our students stay connected to each other, to their teachers, and to the Voice Lab community. The Pay-It-Forward fund is a way for sponsors, fellow students, and friends of The Voice Lab to support each other as we continue to strengthen our community across the globe.

Donate

Contributions of any amount are greatly appreciated and will allow us to assist as many students as possible. Your contribution helps support students in need of assistance for private lessons in singing, piano, guitar, or transgender voice. 

Two Ways to Donate:

Single Donations


  • With any single donation of $25 or more, your name will appear on our Gratitude List.

  • With any single donation of $100 or more, your name will appear on our Gratitude List, and you will receive a Voice Lab tote bag. 

Recurring Donations
​
  • With any recurring monthly donation of $25 or more, your name will appear on our Gratitude List, and you will receive a personalized thank you song from one of our faculty.

  • With any recurring monthly donation of $100 or more, your name will appear on our Gratitude List, and you will be invited to an exclusive virtual concert.
