COVID-19 Alert – February 1, 2021
The following is the most up-to-date information. Please continue to check the website closer to the event date for any changes that may be necessary.
The Ohio Music Teachers Association Central East District, CEOhioMTA, is pleased to offer scholarships to eligible students again this year. Due to the ongoing pandemic situation, it will be an on-line event again, with applicants submitting their video recording for the judging.
The format for the audition will retain the performance and the essay portions but exclude the sight-reading portion. Eligible applicants will receive detailed instructions on submitting their performance video through YouTube.
The goal of the scholarship is to broaden the student’s exposure to music through something outside the regular routine. Scholarships are sponsored by both local businesses and the CEOhioMTA and range from $100 to the $700 Graduating Senior Award (used for tuition reimbursement for students majoring in music).
Scholarships may be used to pay for a music camp, master class, workshops, institute, special lessons, or coaching, separate from study with the teacher of current enrollment (the scholarship award should not benefit the current teacher of study or relatives of the student’s teacher). If you would like to use an awarded scholarship for something other than listed above, the teacher must contact the chairperson for prior approval—before submitting the application.
