GSC music scholarships available for local students

The Glacier Symphony and Chorale’s annual Scholarship Program for Young Musicians is accepting applications from student musicians on a tight budget who are looking to expand their music education.

Students who have played with the Glacier Symphony for at least three concerts during a regular season or who are on the permanent orchestra substitution list, or those who have sung in the Glacier Chorale are eligible to apply.

The program encourages student participation in the Glacier Symphony and Chorale and assists those student musicians in pursuing a career or an avocation in music. The award of scholarships is based on musical ability and potential as determined by the scholarship committee.

When funds are available, “at-large” scholarships may be provided to outstanding music students who show exceptional ability but have not yet had the opportunity to perform with the GSC. Scholarships must be used for students to further their musical career through camps, private lessons, or college tuition.

Applications are available on the GSC website www.gscmusic.org by clicking the Education tab. They must be postmarked by March 22 to be considered and should be mailed to: GSC, Attn: Scholarship Committee, P.O. Box 2491, Kalispell, MT 59903 or delivered to the GSC office at 720 S. Main St. in Kalispell.

The recipients will be announced at GSC’s April 27-28 concerts. Graduating senior awards will be presented at the student’s high school spring awards assembly.
