Note from LSM: STUDENT is eligible to receive up to $500 from LSM as a 50% match to funds raised. In other words, if STUDENT raises $1,000, STUDENT will be eligible for the full match. Any funds raised beyond that will help to further defray costs for STUDENT's family. To contribute towards STUDENT's tuition, you can give two ways:

Online through this page. Givebutter will automatically apply online processing fees (which you can opt out of paying) and a suggested "tip" (which you can set to zero). If you do not pay the online processing fee, LSM will. This will not affect your payment amount toward STUDENT's tuition.
Mail a check to LSM, PO Box 8687, Minneapolis, MN 55408. Checks should be made out to Lutheran Summer Music, with STUDENT's name in the memo line.

Lutheran Summer Music Academy & Festival (LSM) is the nation’s premier faith-based music academy for high school students. In addition to advanced musical instruction and numerous performance opportunities, LSM students form an intentional community, living together for four weeks on a Lutheran college campus. Since 1981, this unique and immersive program has guided the lives of young musicians who credit LSM as the starting place for their future careers and vocations.

LSM was founded to celebrate and extend the rich musical heritage of the Lutheran church. Our founders believed that by providing high-quality training and performance opportunities to young musicians they could cultivate a lifelong love of classical and sacred music, thus preserving these art forms for generations to come.
