  Jack Kesselman Orchestra Award
The Jack Kesselman Orchestra Award is presented each year to a KCP student or students who live his motto “find something you love and do it”. The award is given on merit and not financial need. Recipients receive a full KCP session scholarship. The award is made possible by the Kesselman Family in memory and honor of their father, Jack Kesselman. This award has been presented annually at the Session III concerts since 1995.

Jeremy Charles Phillips Scholarship
The Jeremy Charles Phillips Scholarship was established in 2005 and is sponsored by Bob & Wendy Phillips. The award is given to a student in the conservatory who demonstrates both exceptional merit and financial need. The Jeremy Charles Phillips Award honors Jeremy's memory in that excellence and commitment should always be given the opportunity for nurturing. Recipients of this award receive both private lessons and orchestral instruction throughout the year. The Jeremy Charles Phillips award will be presented each year to a KCP student in loving memory of Jeremy Phillips who enjoyed nothing more than to provide opportunity to others. With this award his spirit lives on.

The Fred Elton Award
The Fred Elton Award was established to honor the memory of composer/lyricist Fred Elton. His life was brief but his musical legacy lives on, not just in the works he created but in the family of musicians that play his piano, create silly songs and share his love of tritones. We hope that it will help deserving students achieve all their musical dreams. It is given with love by Faye Greenberg, David Lawrence & Mable Elton Lawrence.
