LCCS Scholarship Information
One of the most rewarding projects that LCCS 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 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. 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.
Scholarships are available to highly qualified students who reside in Lexington and Richland Counties through an audition process. High school students who reside in Richland and Lexington Counties are eligible to audition for either of these scholarships. Please follow the links below for more specific information (i.e. audition dates, locations, registration fees, etc.) concerning each of these wonderful opportunities.
