 \n \n\nAbout the Emerson/Harris Program for Private Study\n\nSupport for pr
 ivate musical study is available for students through the Emerson/Harris Pr
 ogram (E/HP)\, which offers merit-based financial awards for outstanding ac
 hievement on instruments or voice in classical\, jazz\, or world music. Eac
 h academic year\, the program awards Scholarships and Fellowships to nearly
  seventy students who commit to a full year’s study and participate in the 
 musical life of MIT.\n\nAuditions for the program are held at the beginning
  of each academic year. Private teacher selections\, made in consultation w
 ith the E/HP jury heads\, may include instructors from MIT staff and throug
 hout Greater Boston. The Emerson/Harris Program is funded by the late Mr. C
 herry L. Emerson\, Jr. (SM\, 1941)\, in response to an appeal from Associat
 eProvost Ellen T. Harris (Class of 1949 Professor Emeritus of Music). The E
 merson/Harris Masterclass Series is supported\, in part\, by the Robert L. 
 Malster (1956) Fund.\n\nThis project is presented as part of Artfinity\, an
  Institute-sponsored event celebrating creativity and community at MIT. Art
 finity is organized by the Office of the Arts.
