The application must be postmarked by October 1 and sent to the current treasurer of MAR.
Member Award
The membership support fund was developed to provide monetary assistance for music therapists who reside in the Mid-Atlantic region and have financial constraints that limit their ability to join AMTA.
More specifically, the Membership Support Fund is designed to assist music therapists in paying 75% of their AMTA membership fees for one year. To apply, music therapists need to complete the attached application form. There presently is no limit to the number of number of consecutive times a music therapist may apply for the assistance, but preference will be given to new applicants if the number of awards in any one year is limited due to regional budgetary constraints. The application process and the names of those who receive the awards will remain confidential; only the number of awards will be reported.
To qualify for the award, music therapists need have obtained the MT-BC, RMT, CMT, or ACMT credentials; be living in the Mid-Atlantic region; and be actively seeking employment or employed as music therapists. Applicants also will be asked to generally identify their financial need. All applications need to be sent to the Treasurer of the region who will verify that the applicant meets the qualifications to apply for the award based on Part One of the application. The Treasurer then will remove Part One of the application that identifies the person and send Part Two and Three on to the appointed committee members who will complete a blind review of the applications.
