Scholarship Information
The Roland L. Meyer Orpheus Club Scholarship
The Orpheus Club scholarship program honors and assists a graduating high school senior who has demonstrated extraordinary accomplishment in music and who intends to continue musical studies on the collegiate level.
The Orpheus Club Men's Chorus is a singing voice for good throughout the greater New York/New Jersey metropolitan area. It comprises men who love to sing, enjoy the company of like-minded men, and perform with a sense of service to the larger community. It was founded in 1909 in Ridgewood, New Jersey, and has performed continually since then, with major annual concerts in April and December. Orpheus is led by music director John J. Palatucci, pianist/assistant director Ron Levy, and president Vernon Reed.
The scholarship is named after Roland L. Meyer, a former president of the Orpheus Club who bequeathed funds for the program. It has been awarded in its current form since 1993.
The Orpheus Club also administers the Harriet & Edward Memorial Scholarship Award, a $1,000 award funded by our pianist, Ron Levy, in memory of his parents. Students do not apply separately, but rather are considered from the pool of applicants for the Meyer Scholarship.
Stay tuned in early 2022 for the next scholarship opportunity.
