The Choral Scholars ministry offers eight scholarship positions of $1000 per semester to area college students for the academic year. The positions allow students the experience of singing with an accomplished church choir, hopefully fostering a lifelong involvement with church music. Choral Scholars are encouraged to be active in the college ministry of the church, enjoying the support of a "home away from home" church family.
Requirements
- Choral Scholars must be actively enrolled in a degree program at an area college or university. Scholars become full participating members of the Adult Choir at First Baptist Church.
- Participation requirements include a weekly rehearsal on Wednesday evenings from 7:00-8:30 p.m. and Sunday morning worship from 10:45 a.m.-12:00 noon. Additional activities include two seasonal concerts and an overnight fall retreat (expenses covered).
- The schedule for the 2012-2013 academic year begins Wednesday, September 5 through Sunday, December 16, 2012, then Wednesday, January 9 through Sunday, May 12, 2013. In this period, absences from 6 rehearsals and 6 services will be permitted.
- Payments of the scholarship will be made directly to the educational institution following each semester's participation.
