Back to the Dodington home pageApplications to the Lorne Dotterer Music Scholarship are being accepted.
Lorne was the Director of Music at Knox Presbyterian Church, Goderich for many years. After his passing, a Memorial trust was created, with the objective of awarding a yearly scholarship to a student continuing in musical studies. The award highlights proficiency in a musical field, preferably choral, organ, or piano, although past recipients include string players and wind instruments as well. While all will be considered, preference will be given to applicants who are planning a career in Church music.
The candidate must be a High School graduate, performing at minimum of the Conservatory Grade VIII level, before becoming eligible for the scholarship. Because Lorne Dotterer was a church musician (as well as a school music teacher) preference will be given to candidates already involved in, or planning to pursue, a career in music directly related to worship in the Christian church. Because most of Lorne Dotterer’s career was centred in Goderich, Clinton and Mitchell, Ontario, preference will be given to candidates from Huron and Perth counties. Applications from candidates from further afield will be given serious consideration.
The award is $1,000 and will be awarded to a deserving student to help defray education costs.
Application deadline is May 27, 2011.The winner will be announced on June 10, 2011.
We look forward to hearing from you or any student you know who qualifies. Full conditions and application forms are available by email request or by telephone: 519-524-7512.
