Scholarships
Since 1955, the Badger Chordhawks Vocal Scholarship program continues to help countless area high school students make music a part of their studies, their vocations, and their lives. Recognizing notable academic achievement, a passion for music, and an intention to pursue this passion in college and beyond, past recipients include our current director, as well as a who's who of other musical professionals. In 2022, we transformed our Vocal Scholarship Program into a Vocal Scholarship Competition. Overall in the past 60+ years, we have awarded tens of thousands of dollars in Vocal Scholarships – including nearly $20,000 in the last five years alone.
