Evaluation Criteria 

Applications will be reviewed and scored based on the Conference Scholarship Rubric, which can be viewed by clicking here. 

We encourage students and choral leaders of all backgrounds to apply, particularly those who identify as belonging to historically marginalized groups. Diverse perspectives and accessible participation at our Conference are key parts of Chorus America’s ongoing commitment to access, diversity, equity, and inclusion in the choral field. 

Applicants may apply for multiple scholarships but will receive no more than one award.
