George Black Scholarships

George Black Membership Scholarship

The membership scholarship provides a one-year membership in The Hymn Society at the student level for a number of candidates. The number of scholarships is based on the level of the George Black Fund. Since the fund is the same fund that provides for the George Black Conference Scholarship, annual disbursements will be managed with that in mind.

Applicants may nominate themselves or be nominated by an academic, church musician or worship leader.

Nominate a student by emailing George Bell at georgebell@rogers.com.

Application Deadline: November 1, 2023.
