Lakeside Civic Chorus established their music scholarship awards program 18 years ago to nurture and help support young musicians who plan to study music as their life career.   To win these cash awards each student must demonstrate their musical performance ability, have been accepted in a college/university music degree program, and have a GPA of 3.0 or higher.  The awards are sent directly to the institution the student will be attending to help pay tuition.   The Lakeside Civic Chorus Scholarships are made possible only from ticket sales from the chorus concert performances and gifts from individuals such as the "Mary Elaine House Memorial ".   The scholarships are available to both vocalists and instrumentalists. Currently, the Chorus offers two scholarship opportunities. The chorus continues to bring the best of choral music performance to the Rockwall Area and support the arts through their concerts each year.  The support of the community is greatly appreciated and vital to keep these awards possible.
