The South Dakota Federation of Music Clubs, an affiliate of the National Federation of Music Clubs, is once again offering two scholarships, each $1,000, for South Dakota students who are pursuing a major or minor in music at a state college/university.
NFMC, founded in 1898, is now the world’s largest philanthropic music organization supporting American music and musicians.

Scholarship applicants should have completed at least 30 hours of course work in the accredited college/university, however, incoming college freshman may apply if they have participated in the National Federation of Music Clubs Junior Festivals as high school seniors. Graduate students are not eligible. Scholarship money can be used for college tuition and fees or for summer music camps. The money will be paid directly to the camp or university.

Applications must include a YouTube audition video, a current transcript, a list of activities especially related to music, an essay and teacher recommendations. Deadline for applications is May 31.
