The Pan in Motion Scholarship was established as an additional means of support for the ever evolving Steel Pan Community. As steel pan continues its growth within the educational system, we have acknowledged the foundation that steel pan has provided to many individuals in non-music related fields. To highlight that, Pan in Motion will be offering a scholarship to students majoring in any field of study. The winner will be announced in the Summer of 2022 and the scholarship will be available for the 2022 - 2023 school year.
