Strings in Schools Endowed Scholarship in Music Education

Established by Dr. Anne Witt and friends of The University of Alabama Music Education program. Priority of consideration is given to students who have been accepted into the upper division Teacher Education Program in Music Education within the College of Education and who demonstrate financial need, although not necessarily need as defined by federal guidelines. Recipients shall have as their principal instrument one of the following: violin, viola, cello, or string bass. It is the donors’ desire that recipients shall have participated in the Strings in Schools program and have graduated from a high school within the Tuscaloosa City School System. A letter from the high school orchestra teacher is also desired. Additionally, the scholarship may be renewable for each of the subsequent years of a recipient’s undergraduate education provided the scholarship committee deems a recipient’s performance and academic progress satisfactory, and provided the recipient remains enrolled in the Teacher Education Program in Music Education in the College of Education.
