SAMTA Music Education Fund
The
San Antonio Music Teachers Association established a music scholarship through
the San Antonio Area Foundation in December of 1988. This marked a significant step in our organization’s
history. The first scholarship was
awarded in April of 1990.
PURPOSE
The
primary purpose of the Fund is to provide for an annual music scholarship; the
secondary purpose is to provide funding for any other music educational activity
which would further knowledge and strengthen education for student and teacher
members of SAMTA.
SELECTION COMMITTEE
An
Advisory Committee, comprised of seven SAMTA members, selects a recipient during
the month of March and sends their recommendation to the Distribution Committee
for the San Antonio Area Foundation.
CRITERIA FOR SCHOLARSHIP
RECIPIENTS
The
Advisory Committee selects a high school senior who will be majoring
in any music discipline at a college, university or conservatory of their
choice. The music teacher
representing the student must be his/her primary instrument instructor and a
current SAMTA member. The

characteristics:
