The Piano Technicians Guild Foundation offers scholarships each year to members intending to take their final RPT examination during the current year's PTG Annual Convention & Institute.
The scholarships provide individual recipients with funds for the convention member registration fee, as well as examination fees to cover the applicant’s choice of either the PTG Technical Examination or the PTG Tuning Examination. Up to eight scholarships are awarded annually.
To be considered, an applicant must:
• Have passed two RPT exams
• Take the third test at the upcoming PTG convention
