Albany schools have used classroom and fine arts enrichment grants from the APSF to support strings programs in their schools. Grant money has purchased school instruments that are then available to students free of charge. We are also very excited to be able to offer tuition assistance through the APSF Fine Arts Enrichment Grant school program so that our programs are affordable for all students at South Shore Elementary.
