Education Grants
The Singing Company sponsors an education assistance program which is available to all full-time students who demonstrate continued merit by fulfilling their commitments as Singing Company members and Salvationists in good standing. To benefit from this program a band member must annually apply and provide proof of full-time enrollment (as defined by the institution the student is attending).
Interested?
Contact Eric Himes (Eric_Himes@usc.salvationarmy.org) to request an interview and audition for The Singing Company. Following a successful interview and audition, an application for Singing Company membership will be issued to prospective members. Once an application is completed and fully endorsed (by Corps and DHQ), it will be submitted to The Singing Company Band Board for consideration and then to the Territorial Program Department for final approval.
