Congratulations 60th Anniversary Scholarship Winners!

As part of the Celebration of our 60th Anniversary scholarships are awarded to the top scoring auditionees for the 2011 NCMEA High School and Middle School Choruses. We applaud the generosity of our donors!

The following NCMEA Senior High Honors Chorus top scoring singers were awarded their FULL scholarship to NCSICA 2012 on Sunday November 13, 2011 in Winston-Salem.  As more donors support this effort more singers will be notified.

We regret that the 4 scholarships raised thus far for the 2011 Middle School Honors Chorus were not awarded as planned on Sunday November 13 in Winston-Salem. We are awaiting notification of the top scoring middle school singers so that they may be invited to join us for 2012 NCSICA...until then, here are our scholarship winners to date:
