NPM Program Scholarships
NPM program scholarships are made possible through the generosity
of NPM members who have made financial contributions to the NPM
Program Scholarship Fund. These scholarships are provided to assist
pastoral musicians with limited financial resources in taking advantage
of opportunities for continuing formation at NPM conventions and
institutes.
Scholarship Applicants
Applicants for scholarships must be NPM members and should be from
economically disadvantaged parishes. The financial need of the applicant
should be reflected in the application. NPM encourages members of
all ethnic and racial groups to apply for scholarships.
Scholarship Awards
Scholarship applications are considered on a case-by-case basis.
Scholarships are awarded depending on the financial need of the
applicant and the amount of funds available in the NPM Program Scholarship
Fund. Scholarships for conventions include full convention registration
only. Scholarships for NPM institutes include the commuter registration
fee only. All remaining costs must be borne by the applicant and/or
his or her parish.
The Application Process

Program Scholarship Application (pdf file)

Follow-Up
Scholarship recipients are to submit a follow-up report, reflecting
on their convention or institute experience, describing what they
have learned, what they are taking back to their parish, and how
they can implement what they have learned.
