CMEA Equity & Advocacy Scholarship

The purpose of the Connecticut Music Educators Association (CMEA) Equity and Advocacy Scholarship is to assist students with the cost of participating in CMEA and NAfME Festivals.  By doing so, we hope to remove barriers for historically marginalized groups within Connecticut.  To be eligible for the All-State Festival scholarship, students must also complete a successful audition and be accepted into a festival ensemble.
