JMI Fund for Young Ukrainian Musicians

The ongoing situation in Ukraine is truly heartbreaking.

Millions have already been forced to flee their homes in search of safety, among them, many young musicians.

JM International, together with our members, are offering full scholarships to young Ukrainian musicians ( between 18-30 years of age) to participate in various JMI music education programs this summer. With this humble gesture, we hope to be able to offer a little normalcy during a very abnormal time for these young people.

We are looking to raise an initial 10 full scholarships that will cover flights, accommodation, food, local transport and all course-related fees.

If you are interested in supporting the musical mobility of young Ukrainian musicians please consider donating to the fund.
