$1000 scholarship available for high school singers in Washington County

ST. GEORGE — The Southern Utah Heritage Choir is offering two $1000 scholarships for high school senior vocalists who live in Washington County.

Applicants must submit the online application, letters of recommendation, transcript, and photo on the choir’s website by December 15, 2021. The choir will hold in-person auditions in January for selected applicants. Along with the $1000 scholarship, the choir will invite the two winners to perform as soloists in their spring concert.

“We’re very excited to be offering a new scholarship program for high school seniors,” said Tami Creamer, artistic director for the choir. “It can help with lessons… or just help with their academics. It’ll be a wonderful opportunity.”

The choir hopes the scholarship will provide opportunities for up-and-coming singers from the Washington County community.

“The choir is always interested in investing in future singers,” said Ken Peterson, principal director for the Heritage Choir. “It’s important to us to let the upcoming generation of singers know that they are important to us, and to invest in their success.” And maybe someday, even have them join the choir.

The deadline is December 15. Potential applicants can find all the information for submitting an application for the scholarship on the choir’s website at www.heritagechoir.org.
