Awards, Scholarships & Grants

Every voice matters in Region 26, but some voices go above and beyond to harmonize our community. Our awards and scholarships are more than just titles; they are a reflection of the passion, heart, and hard work our members pour into their chapters and the region. Whether through music education, visionary leadership, or a "spirit" that captures the essence of our sisterhood, these honors celebrate the people who make our region a truly special place to sing.
