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 $2,000 ($1,000 each for band and choir) to graduating seniors who exemplify the qualities of Mrs. Lange and Mr. Kaufman: dedication, excellence, loyalty, and leadership.
Download a scholarship application with the button below. Submit a completed application to your music director via hardcopy or by sharing the document online.
Deadline: Late spring 2025. When the 2025 deadline is set, this page will be updated, and the music directors will announce it in class.
