LCCS Scholarship Information
LCCS is
very proud to offer two scholarships for young musicians.
H.T. Lorick,
Jr.
Vocal Scholarship
The scholarship
is available by audition process for 9th - 12th graders who reside in Lexington
County. The scholarship
is in the amount of $1,000.00 which can be equally divided among the winners.
The scholarship is intended for use for private vocal instruction and college
preparatory literature. The scholarship is designed basically to
help better prepare the awarded students for college vocal scholarship
auditions which they will be involved in during their senior year.
Adjudication
is by an impartial member(s) of NATS (National Association of Teachers
of Singing), who reside
outside of Lexington County. Scholarship
auditions should be based on vocal talent and financial need as established
by a letter of recommendation. In
order for students to be considered for auditions, they must fill out an entry
form available from LCCS and provide a letter of recommendation
from their teacher.
