Sam Malenius Scholarship for Creative Minds
The Sam Malenius Scholarship for Creative Minds is available for the 2026-27 school year, for TCS students who are seniors wanting to pursue a college education in the Arts. This scholarship is in memory of former student Samantha Malenius. Sam was passionate about all things creative, including art, music and more - anything that involved a stage or a platform to show off the image of the Master Creator. Students selected should have a chosen field of study upon graduation that involves physical or performing arts focus.
Student applications will become available 2nd semester.

INSTRUMENT REPAIR
We use Big Note Music for on site repair of many of our musical instruments. If you have an instrument that needs repair, this may be a great option for you. The process works with you filling out an online form, pre-paying for the repair, and then they come for a scheduled repair session right on our Trinity campus. Your student wouldn’t be away from their instrument except when it’s on the repair table. This convenient option has worked for us for a few years now. Simply fill out the online form and let us know that a repair has been scheduled.
