KMEA Tri-M Scholarship Application 2026-27

About this program

Kansas Music Educators Association (KMEA) offers a single $750 Tri‑M Scholarship to a Tri‑M member who is a high school senior and will enroll as a music education major at a four‑year Kansas college or university for the 2026–27 academic year. Applicants must be members in good standing of both their local Tri‑M chapter and national Tri‑M and must submit a completed application form, a typed essay (minimum 250 words) describing background and reasons for majoring in music education, and a letter of recommendation from their Tri‑M advisor. Application packages must be postmarked by February 1, 2027 and sent by mail or email to KMEA Vice‑President Jamie Minneman (Barton Community College, 245 NE 30 Rd, Great Bend, KS 67530) or the provided KMEA vice‑president email; the scholarship will be presented at the KMEA In‑Service Workshop and the recipient need not be present. Applicants may apply for both this scholarship and the All‑State Groups scholarship but are ineligible to receive both awards.
