2024 Glenn Miller Scholarship Competition Guidelines
(June 5th and 6th, 2024 – winners to perform on June 7th, 2024)
Clarinda’s Glenn Miller Birthplace Society is, once again, offering scholarships in both instrumental and vocal categories. Winners of the scholarships are awarded $3,000 for 1st place, $2,000 for 2nd place, and $1,000 for 3rd place in each category. These scholarships, which are awarded without regard to any other award, may be used for any education-related expense.
It is not the purpose of this competition to select Glenn Miller look-alikes or sound-alikes, nor is it limited to pop music performances. Rather, in honoring Glenn, we wish to seek out and assist promising young talents from any field of applied music who may be musical leaders of tomorrow.
