The Dr. James Morales Award for Music Education is a $1,000 scholarship dedicated to supporting the next generation of musicians and educators. Created by respected physician and music advocate Dr. James Morales, this award honors individuals who are committed to making music a lifelong pursuit—whether through performance, teaching, or creative innovation. Open to undergraduate students across the United States, this one-time award is granted through a competitive essay contest. Applicants are encouraged to reflect on how music has shaped their life, their academic path, and how they plan to use their talent and education to inspire others.
