Four $2,500 scholarships for students of religious music will be granted in 2007 by the National Religious Music Week Alliance, according to Stewart Jones, chairman of the Alliance.

The scholarships, based on merit, will be granted to individuals enrolled in a college-level music program leading to a career in the ministry of music. They are available to members of all faiths, and are for sophmores and above, including graduate students.  Closing date for applications is March 15.

The scholarship program, begun in 2004, was made possible by a gift from the Bever family of Oxford, Ohio. This fund has been increased by contributions from many concerned organizations and individuals.

The application form, which appears on this website as a PDF document, can be filled out, then printed and mailed to the Alliance.
