Pinette piano scholarship available at Erskine

A piano scholarship for deserving students at Erskine Academy has been established in memory of Lori Anne Pinette [1958-2016].

Named for Oak Grove-Coburn School alumna Lori Anne Pinette, the Lori Anne Pinette Memorial Piano Scholarship is awarded annually to an Erskine Academy student for private piano instruction.

Although an applicant’s talent and ability may be considered, this scholarship is principally based on financial need. This opportunity is provided to those who would most benefit from private piano instruction but might not otherwise receive such due to financial circumstances.

Born and raised in South China, Lori Anne Pinette was a gifted pianist and musician. She attended Oak Grove-Coburn School, in Vassalboro, and graduated in 1977. She retained her love of music and performed in various venues in Maine throughout her life. Lori unexpectedly died of a brain tumour in August 2016. The Lori Anne Pinette Memorial Piano Scholarship was established by her friends and family to honor her creative legacy and to continue her love of music in her home town and central Maine.

Interested persons may contribute to the scholarship fund which is tax deductible by sending funds to the following:
