BAUMGARDNER SCHOLARSHIP AWARD
Voices of North Georgia is proud to sponsor the Baumgardner Scholarship Award, an annual scholarship created to help further the education of area high school students interested in pursuing a career in Vocal Performance or Vocal Education. The scholarship was created in memory and honor of Dr. Kenneth Baumgardner. Dr. Baumgardner was a charter member of the Gainesville Chorale and remained involved with the group throughout his life. He served as a professor in the music department at Brenau University for many years and is quite a legend in the Gainesville/Hall County area.
Apply for the Scholarship
The Baumgardner Scholarship Award is presented during the opening performance of our Spring Concert. Interested applicants can submit their choir scholarship application by the annual deadline of February 21. Scholarship recipients are invited to perform alongside the choir during the opening performance, and the scholarship awards are formally presented at the conclusion of the concert. This music scholarship supports aspiring North Georgia singers by providing financial assistance to help advance their musical education, training, and performance experience.
Qualifications for the scholarship award include a written application, a brief essay describing why the student is interested in pursuing a degree in music, a listing of musical accomplishments and awards received, and their GPA scores.
