The John K. Nikel Scholarship

John K. Nikel

Dear Colleagues,

For the third year in a row, the Alberta International Band Festival, Calgary is proud to present the John K. Nikel Scholarship. This scholarship, valued at $2,500, is intended for a graduating student who intends to pursue a career as a band director.

The recipient may 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 Optimist Club of Calgary for their generosity in funding this scholarship for 2008.

The guidelines for the John K. Nikel Scholarship as well as the application form can be downloaded below:
