Arleen Brace & Elma Mortensen Memorial Music Scholarship
Arleen Brace was a beloved mother who was a strong proponent of music in all of its many forms.
Arleen believed in the power of music to change lives, heal hearts, and bring people together. Music is a shaping factor in many people’s lives, offering an avenue for emotional release, presenting an opportunity for creative expression, and often being a calling for one’s future career.
This scholarship seeks to support students who have been affected by music and plan to pursue it in the future.
Any high school senior who is a Nebraska resident planning to pursue music (music education, music therapy, or music performance) may apply for this scholarship opportunity.
To apply, tell us what music means to you and how it has affected your life so far.
