Although we are not grads of USC, the university has enhanced our lives in many ways. We have appreciated the variety of performances offered by the School of Music and are touched by the energy and enthusiasm of the students when we attend them. Though we are not musicians, it is music that has brought us together with friends for many wonderful times.

To advance Music Education in South Carolina, the Gretsch Foundation of South Carolina made a transformative donation to aid in the development of the USC Music Teaching Artist Certificate Program (MTAC). Gretsch, a drum and guitar manufacturing company founded in Brooklyn, NY, in 1883, moved to Ridgeland, SC, in 1984, and is today owned and operated by Fred and Dinah Gretsch.
Thanks to the generosity of Fred and Dinah Gretsch, more than a dozen participants receive full scholarships each year.
