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 2024 Scholarships awarded, we have given out 1145 scholarships totaling $358,085.  
Please see the list of this year's awardees on the "2024 Winners" page.

The window for applying for the 2025 Scholarships will open January 1, 2025 and will continue until
​May 1, 2025.   
Winners will be announced at the National United Choirs Music Workshop in the summer of 2025.


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