Aviel Scanterbury needs significant funds to pay for his postgraduate studies in jazz at George Mason University in the US. PHOTO: WESLEY GIBBINGS
Twenty-three year old Aviel Scanterbury is considered by some to be a musical prodigy with a string of credentials that belie his young age.
A graduate of the music programme at the University of the West Indies (UWI), Scanterbury’s skills as a pan player are impressively matched by his accomplishments as a steelband arranger and important work in collaboration with musicians covering a wide variety of musical instruments and genres.
In a few weeks, at the end of a so-far bumpy financial road, Scanterbury leaves these shores in pursuit of a Master’s Degree in Jazz Studies from the George Mason University in Virginia, USA.

• Scanterbury can be reached at 772-2279 with more ideas on how he can make it to George Mason.
I’m a bit confused by how the article is written, if he is already enrolled as a student, what ideas will he need on how to make it at GMU?
Most of the answers can be found at the school website, more specifically the music department.

In the education industry the university is amendable to negotiating deals that will benefit their bottom line. Annual student fees can run up to $8,000US. If you are considered an asset to their music department, negotiating a win/win can be worked-out. Think Liam Teague.
