Humboldt County Office of Education’s Student Events Program supports local students who earn the opportunity to perform at regional and state music festivals. Students eligible to participate in the following professional Music Educators Associations’ sponsored events will be considered for scholarships during the year:

• ACDA Coastal Region Honor Choir
• Nor Cal Honor Band and Choir
• CASMEC/ACDA/CODA Honor Ensembles (Sr. High Band, Choir, Orchestra, and Jazz Band; Jr. High Band, Choir, and Orchestra)
• Consideration will also be made for festivals not associated with CMEA that promote excellence

The application is available for download here. HCOE will consider scholarships for traveling expenses and/or event registration. Completed applications must be received no later than 15 days prior to the event. Applications cannot be accepted after the event occurs.
