Professional Development Grants

In addition to the annual BCECM project grant competition, the BCECM Professional Development Fund is available to students and choral musicians, particularly those working with community-based choirs, who are invited to take part in activities that will enhance their choral skills, such as presentations or study/training. The BCECM will accept applications for professional development activities up to $1500.

There are two application deadlines per year: May 10, 2024, and October 18, 2024.

Applications must be received in advance of the proposed activity. Please find the application form and final report form in the links on the left. Funds must be used within one year of the date of the award notification.

This year, the life cycle of the BCECM will come to a close. Our Fall 2024 deadlines will be the final deadlines of the granting program. All projects must be completed and final reports received by November 30^th, 2025.
