Member Scholarships


Prairie Winds Orff AOSA National Conference Scholarship 

Prairie Winds Orff supports our members in attending the AOSA National Conference each November. $500 is divided among PWO members who attend. To be eligible for the scholarship, the attending member agrees to share ideas they learned from the National Conference at one of our Chapter Shares.
*To encourage first-time conference attendance, priority of funds is given to new conference goers*
If new conference goers attend, they will split $250, with the remaining $250 split between return attendees. If no new conference goers attend, all attendees will split $500. To help with costs, PWO is happy to help find roommates for conference goers.



​Prairie Winds Orff Levels Scholarship

Any Prairie Winds Orff member who is looking to receive funding to help pay for the University of Mary’s Orff-Schulwerk Levels program is eligible to apply. Members who have received other funding exceeding $730 are ineligible for this scholarship. Three $200 scholarships will be awarded to Prairie Winds Orff members who meet these criteria. Decisions will be made by the instructors of the UMary course. Applications are due by April 3, 2020​ and will be announced shortly thereafter.

​All applicants should email the following to nmbernier@umary.edu:

  1. The scholarship application.
  2. A one to two page resume that lists past degrees/musical studies, educations-based work experience, performing experience, honors and awards, and community service.
  3. A one to two page essay discussing your philosophy of education, why you are interested in studying Orff-Schulwerk, and how this scholarship will help you.

The experience was not only informative and exciting, but it has reformed how I approach teaching in my classroom. Thank you, Prairie Winds Orff, for the scholarship to attend Level 1. I am so thankful for the financial support. It was a blessing to continue my education in a vibrant environment with such gifted educators and talented instructors!"
