Scholarships
In 2008, the Nancy Lange and Michael Kaufman Scholarships were created to honor two of Grand Ledge's music directors. Each school year, GLMBA will grant up to $4,000 ($2,000 each for band and choir) to graduating seniors who exemplify the qualities of Mrs. Lange and Mr. Kaufman: dedication, excellence, loyalty, and leadership.
