Nine years after earning his Bachelor’s degree in music education from Pensacola Christian College, teacher Stefan Thompson is preparing to re-shoulder the knapsack for a return to the classroom with hopes of matriculating towards a Master’s degree in music composition at Boston Conservatory at Berklee.

Thompson, 31, the current sixth through 12th grade music teacher at Nassau Christian Academy (NCA), is hoping he’s granted a number of scholarships/grants he has applied for to help him defray his $45,000 annual tuition at the performing arts college.

To date, he’s received an $18,000 partial scholarship from Berklee, and was the recipient of a $1,500 tuition assistance grant from the Nassau Music Society.
