LCCS Scholarship Information
A few of the most rewarding projects that our organization sponsors are our two scholarship opportunities, i.e. the H. T. Lorick, Jr. Vocal Scholarship and the Sylvia E. Looney Piano Scholarship. Both of these scholarships are designed to assist local student musicians in their professional training for upcoming college scholarship auditions. This endeavor is invaluable to us an arts organization because we are helping perpetuate the musical arts in our own community, as well as, membership for our own choral ensemble. Thanks to the gracious donations from you, we are able to grant monetary awards and performance opportunities to the most outstanding student musicians in our municipality.
The H. T. Lorick, Jr. Vocal Scholarship is available to highly qualified students who reside in Lexington County, and the Sylvia E. Looney Piano Scholarship is available to highly qualified students who reside in Lexington and Richland Counties. Award recipients are determined through an audition process. The vocal auditions are offered in the fall, and the piano auditions in the spring.
