The Andy Stindt Scholarship Fund

The fund was created in 1997 after the tragic death of Andy and two of his friends, Michael Jamieson and Ashley Easterbrook.  All three were killed by a drunk driver.  The scholarship fund provides financial support to deserving young musicians in the Troy School District for summer music camp, private lessons and/or college.

Through the generous support of the community, we have been able to award  $96, 347 to 178 students.  The fund has also purchased sheet music, provided DSO master classes and brought visiting clinicians to the Athens Orchestras.

If you would like to support the young musicians in Troy, a monetary donation can be sent to: 

Andy Stindt Scholarship Fund

C/O Troy Athens High School

4333 John R Rd

Troy  MI 48085

Checks should be made payable to the "Andy Stindt Scholarship Fund" 


Kroger card fundraiser-No more pre-loading gift cards!!!!! Just use your regular Kroger Plus card after registering it with AOPA.

This ongoing program is so simple and earns the orchestra program thousands of dollars per year and all you need to do is your regular grocery shopping. It costs the shopper nothing extra. Think about it-if you spend $100 on groceries each week then AOPA would receive $5 each week.  If just half our families participated that would equal about $250 each week.  This could greatly reduce the cost of the trip and camp and pay for a number of things the musicians need.

Kroger will continually donate 5% of its sales to the Athens orchestras
