The Program
In September of 2013, we heard from a friend that a number of high school students who were accepted into the ACDA Regional Honor Choir Program could not afford the $100 fee, and the school that they attended did not have the funds to assist them. We remember how impactful these programs were when we were in high school and decided to find a way to help. That year Resounding Achord found the funds to offer eight scholarships to students who could not afford to pay the participation fee.
We have continued to expand this program over the years, and Resounding Achord Productions is now pleased to be able to offer 50 scholarships for the CCDA Coastal and Central Region Honor Choirs.
The Process
We require that each student-teacher pair fill out an application that provides justification for the need of the scholarship. The application deadline is usually mid-October.
Note: due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the CCDA Regional Honor Choirs have been canceled for 2020.
We look forward to supporting students in the 2021 Virtual All-State, and we will resume our Regional Honor Choir Scholarship Program in Fall 2021.
