These criteria may be met through participation singularly or in any combination of band, orchestra, or vocal organizations. The distinction may be achieved each school year. The school year is defined as the beginning of the year through the next-to-the-last official grade reporting period of the local school district for the purposes of calculating grade averages and determining eligibility. To be eligible for this award, download, print, complete, and turn in the Texas Music Scholars Application by Monday, April 27.  Late applications will not be accepted. Texas Music Scholars receive a certificate, patch, and letter from the Texas Music Educators Association signed by the Executive Director. Please note that this is an award, not a scholarship or other offer of money.
