HCCA LANE / TURVEY SCHOLARSHIPS
Each year, the Huntsville Community Chorus awards the Albert Lane and Kenneth Turvey Scholarship. Named in honor of the late Albert H. Lane, who was prominent in Huntsville musical and artistic life for many years, and Kenneth V. Turvey, Director of Community Chorus for 40 years, these scholarships were established to reward achievement and encourage excellence in vocal music.
Each scholarship recipient receives an award of $500; the Turvey Scholarship for graduating high school seniors and the Lane Scholarship for college students. In addition to the monetary awards, this year's recipients have the opportunity to perform with TheChorus in the 2026/27 Season.
Applicants must be residents of Madison County or members of a vocal performing group in this county. Selection is by audition, with two pieces selected from an HCCA-specified repertoire and one from the applicant’s choice. In addition, applicants are expected to demonstrate intentions of pursuing a serious course of vocal music study, meeting the approval of the HCCA Scholarship Committee.
