It is quite the honor to be recognized for your talent by the Plymouth Philharmonic Orchestra. No one knows this better than Oskar Mundt of Marshfield High School. A high school junior receives this scholarship if they are pursuing a musical career. The scholarship is awarded annually.

The scholarship is generally awarded to the student during their junior year of high school in an effort to increase their chances of being accepted into the music school of their choice.

With this type of incredible opportunity, sky’s the limit for the youth that it is awarded to. Based on what we now know about Mudnt, it is clear that he is putting the scholarship money to good use. We certainly have a lot to be proud of in Plymouth and our youth can be included amongst the various things that we are proud of. We appreciate their efforts in contributing to their communities and this is just one way of rewarding them for their hard work and commitment. We hope to continue to encourage and foster such Plymouth talent.
