New Britain Symphony Orchestra Scholarship Recipients

NBSO Annual Scholarship

The Helen Kilduff-Elizabeth Elia Scholarship is awarded each year to a talented music major since 1979.

Since 1979, annually, in May, the New Britain Symphony Orchestra holds auditions for the Helen Kilduff-Elizabeth Elia Scholarship of one thousand dollars ($1,000), which is awarded to a high school senior in New Britain, Berlin, or Plainville who has been accepted by an institution of higher learning with a major in music.

The purpose of the scholarship award is to encourage a talented student who has been accepted by an institution of higher learning to major in music.
