Students – Bay Area Chorus Priscilla Ennis Scholarship Program
The Bay Area Chorus Priscilla Ennis Scholarship Program was established for the purpose of providing scholarships to deserving high school seniors who are planning to pursue advanced studies in choral music through study at an accredited college or university. A scholarship in the amount of $1000 is awarded annually based on the results of a vocal audition. Scholarship eligibility is restricted to graduating high school seniors from the Clear Creek, Deer Park, Dickinson, Friendswood, Galena Park, La Porte, Pasadena, Pearland and Texas City school districts. Auditions are held in early February and scholarship winners are required to perform at a designated Bay Area Chorus performance following the auditions. Please email us at info@bayareachorus.org for more information. The Bay Area Chorus Priscilla Ennis Scholarship Program is generously underwritten by Priscilla Ennis (Re/Max Space Center).
Scholarship Application Instructions
Interested students should mail a completed application form, official transcript and letter of recommendation from his/her choral director. Requested material must be postmarked by February 12, 2008 to be eligible. An application form and instructions may be downloaded here.
Scholarship Audition Details
Auditions will be held on February 24, 2008 (Reporting time 5:30 PM.) at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church, 18220 Upper Bay Road (across NASA Rd. 1 from the Johnson Space Center) in Nassau Bay. Each applicant will perform two classical vocal solos of his/her choosing and must supply an accompanist. The solos should be of contrasting style to give the judges a better picture of the applicant’s abilities.
The BAC believes that singing in the chorus offers music educators a beneficial opportunity for professional growth. To foster music educator participation, the BAC awards Music Educator Scholarships in the form of BAC membership fee reductions. Music Educator Scholarships are awarded annually based upon vocal audition results and are good for a period of one year.
