Janice Lancaster Professional Development
Scholarship
Elementary Music Educators are constantly evolving and developing their skills throughout their careers. FEMEA is proud to support this initiative with scholarships to help off-set the cost of this training. The scholarships are funded by our annual Basket Bash Raffle at the January Conference. Since 2010 we have awarded over $14,800 in awards to member teachers!
Want to take an Orff Level Training? World Music Drummin?, Kodaly or Feierabend Training? Pay for graduate studies? Attend a music education conference? FEMEA will award scholarships based on the proceeds of Basket Bash to members for use toward professional development of the members’ choices. Applications taken in February of each year.
