History
The Music Scholarship Program was instituted on August 8, 1964 by the Sixth General Convention of the National United Choirs of the Polish National Catholic Church held in Carnegie, PA.  The program was implemented at the Seventh General Convention held in Cleveland, OH, on August 4, 1966, when the first awards were presented.  The Music Scholarship Program was instituted and tailored to develop musicians within the Polish National Catholic Church.  The program was further expanded to establish a chair of music at Savonarola Theological Seminary in Scranton, PA, and to make scholarships available in other areas of music to enrich the musical life of the church.

With the 2018 Scholarships awarded, we have given out 1095 scholarships totaling $316,985.  
Please see the list of this year's awardees on the "2018 Winners" page.

The window for applying for the 2019 Scholarships will open January 1, 2019 and will continue to
​May 1, 2019.  This is a change in dates from previous years. 
Winners will be announced at the NUC Music Workshop in late July.


The Music Scholarship Program is funded through the generosity of the faithful of the Polish National Catholic Church.
