YOSA Rising Star Fellows
YOSA Rising Star Fellows is a distinctive program that offers intensive support for YOSA musicians in grades 9-12 who aspire to careers as professional performers. Designed to prepare students for success at top conservatories and university music programs, the fellowship is awarded to musicians of exceptional promise with a demonstrated need for additional mentoring or resources. Fellows receive professional mentoring and advisement; access to masterclasses, workshops, juries, and performance opportunities; and guidance on college and career pathways. They are also eligible to participate in nationally competitive festivals, camps, and events. Depending on financial need, support is also available for private lessons and YOSA tuition.
