Council Oak Men’s Chorale Scholarship

The Council Oak Men’s Chorale Scholarship is established to support and uplift current university students with musical interests in Northeast Oklahoma who identify as members of the LGBTQ+ community or as an ally. This scholarship honors the power of music as a unifying force—one that transcends boundaries, nurtures empathy, and fosters inclusive community. By investing in emerging musicians who are committed to both artistic excellence and social harmony, the Chorale aims to open doors for those who use their voices and talents to celebrate diversity, create connection, and expand the reach of music as a tool for transformation and belonging.
