Choral Singers Scholarships
San Antonio Mastersingers Choral Scholars
Celebrating local singers.
New this season, the San Antonio Mastersingers are pleased to award talented collegiate vocal students who are passionate about choral music and committed to excellence in choral performance in the greater San Antonio area. Choral Scholars must be enrolled as a music major in a greater San Antonio university or college and demonstrate a high level of musicianship and vocal technique. Scholars participate in the full concert season and enjoy mentorship and networking opportunities.
We are happy to announce our first two Choral Scholars, Carlin Alspaugh and De'Von O'Neal.
