ADVANCEMENT

Giving to USC Thornton

Gifts from generous donors have a direct impact on a student’s educational experience. Inspire new generations of performers, composers, educators and leaders to dream big; perform at the highest level; and invigorate a diverse, modern musical world.

Support Matters

Every year, hundreds of alumni, parents, and friends of the School pledge their support because they understand the value of quality music education and its important role in the advancement of the arts, entertainment and our community. Unrestricted giving aids USC Thornton in the following ways:

Provides hundreds of students with scholarship support;

 Ensures outstanding faculty support to mentor thousands of students;

Funds dynamic degree programs; and

Implements enhanced facility upgrades.
