Gilbert & Sullivan Austin Awards Four $500 Vocal Performance Scholarships

 

(www.gilbertsullivan.org)Gilbert & Sullivan Austin annually awards a $500 scholarship to two individuals pursing a professional career in music. Applicants must be enrolled in a professional course of study through a university, college, conservatory music degree program, or an applicable artist program. Because this year's pool of applicants included so many diverse and talented individuals, the Scholarship Committee decided to award not only two, but four, scholarships! Please join us in congratulating the following scholarship recipients for the 2018-19 academic year:
