MADISON — The Madison Diocesan Choir is again offering the youth pastoral summer music clinic scholarship.
These scholarships are meant to encourage continued participation in music ministries by supporting summer music education by the youth attending a summer music clinic.
The scholarship amount is increased this year to $700 per award winner.
The scholarship is open to students finishing sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, 10th, or 11th grades who belong to a parish in the Diocese of Madison and participate in regularly scheduled music ministries (vocal or instrumental).
Preference will go towards new (versus former) recipients of the award.
Scholarship applicants must submit a completed application form and write an original essay responding to the two questions “Why do I participate in music ministry?” and “How will attending a summer music clinic help me in this endeavor?”
For an application form or more information, visit madisondiocese.org/scholarship
All materials must be postmarked, or email received by Saturday, April 1. Award winners will be announced no later than Wednesday, May 31.
The scholarship is funded by the diocesan choir and from additional individual contributions.
