THE JOHN K. NIKEL MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP NORTH
Dear Colleagues,
The Alberta International Band Festival is proud to present the John K. Nikel Memorial Scholarship. This scholarship, valued at $2,500, is intended for a graduating student who intends to pursue a career as a band director.
This year, one scholarship will be presented in the North and one in the South. The recipient must use these funds to offset the cost of their post-secondary education.
To be eligible for this scholarship, students must be in Grade 12 and current members of their high school band(s). Students who graduated last year, but took a year off after high school are also eligible. Applications will only be accepted from students (or graduates) who are members of bands that are participating in the Alberta International Band Festival.
We are very grateful to the Alberta International Band Festival for their generosity in funding this scholarship for 2012.
