A donor may designate a chair in a section of an Honors group, and/or a specific chair by instrument or voice in an Honors group. A donor may also choose to fund a student from a particular school, community, geographic area, ethnic or minority group (Note: students must qualify for an Honors group through existing application and audition procedures. If no student qualifies from the designated school or group in a given year, the endowed tuition grant will be available for another Honors student).
