Kodaly Levels Program Scholarship

VOKE is pleased to offer needs-based scholarships to current Virginia music educators who are seeking to complete Kodály levels study.

A limited number of scholarships will be awarded for Summer 2021 Kodály levels study at George Mason University or James Madison University. Up to $1500 will be awarded which can be used for tuition, application fees, books, travel, and room/board. Applications will be accepted from teachers looking to complete Kodály Level I, II, or III.

To apply, applicants should submit a letter that describes their current teaching position, reasons for pursuing Kodály training, unique financial needs for this scholarship, experience with the Kodály approach, and commitment to incorporating the Kodály concept in the classroom. Applicants who have already completed Level I or II should state so in the letter. Additionally, applicants should include their contact information: mailing address, phone number, and email address.

Submit the letter as an email attachment to Ashley Cuthbertson, VOKE President, ashley@virginiakodaly.org. Deadline is June 15, 2021.
