May TC West Choir Parent Volunteer Opportunities
West Choir Organization Vocal Scholarship Program
The West Choir Parent Organization provides scholarships for students to study privately and/or attend performing arts camps. Providing financial assistance to students for lessons or camp experiences will improve the quality of music making in the program and provide pathways for students to represent Traverse City West in the finest collegiate performing arts programs in the country. The organization supports investing in the future of our student vocalists and understands this investment will strengthen our program now and in the future.
Our goal is to offer up to 10 scholarships for the 24/25 school year. The deadline for applications to be submitted is Thursday, May 2; 3:00 PM. Interviews will be held between May 13 - 17 and awardees will be announced at our Celebration Banquet on Sunday, May 19.
Students will need to download the application, complete it, save the completed application and email it back to either Mr. Wangeman or Mrs. Wolf-Schlarf by the deadline. Following review of the applications, finalists will be invited to participate in the interview phase of the process. There is not an audition component to this scholarship.
