Orchestra director standing next to scholarship winner

Incoming Bethpage High School sophomore Katherine Sfeir was honored as this year’s recipient of the Long Island String Festival Association Studio Award. This $500 scholarship award is presented to deserving students in ninth or 10th grade who were selected and participated in the LISFA Festival this year. 

Katherine, a viola player, submitted a letter of recommendation from her orchestra teacher and wrote an essay explaining why she wanted to be considered for the scholarship. 

Congratulations, Katherine!
