GLMCA Scholarship Program
 

At its inception, the GLMCA established a scholarship program to assist promising students of music at the college level who show interest in the promotion and performance of male chorus music and possess an appreciation of personal, fraternal, and artistic harmony.

The top award in the program each year, the Guy Stoppert Scholarship, is made available through the contribution of Guy Stoppert, a member of the Norton Male Chorus of Flint, Michigan. 

Other award values are subject to change as determined by the scholarship committee, based on funds available.

Scholarships are available to full-time students enrolled in a Bachelor's Degree program with a major in music (vocal or choral emphasis receives a preference). Candidates must be sponsored by a member chorus of the Great Lakes Male Chorus Association.

This year's recipient is Kate Hyne who was sponsored by Lansing's Men of Orpheus.
