2010 MEISA Scholarship Guidelines

MEISA is pleased to offer its annual scholarship program. Two outstanding MEISA members will be awarded scholarships of $250 each.

The application is due no later than 12:00 noon (Eastern Time) on February 26, 2010.

Applicants must meet the following criteria:

•    MEISA member in good standing
•    Major or minor in Music Industry or related area
•    Cumulative GPA of 3.0 or above
•    A recommendation from a professor*
•    Maximum 1000 word essay addressing one of the two topics listed below

*The professor must teach a music business course essential to your music industry education. This does not include core music or core business classes such as music theory or accounting.

Your essay should be a response to one of the two following questions:

1. How are your experiences in MEISA preparing you for a future career in the music industry?
