BMI John Lennon

Congratulations to MENC’s 2009 BMI John Lennon state finalists!

Committee Chairs met early in January and selected finalists from their states. The finalists were sent to MENC, and we have forwarded them to BMI for the next round of adjudication.

Three scholarships will be awarded in June. The student with the best original composition will receive a $10,000 scholarship, the 2nd and 3rd place students will both receive $5,000. Good luck to all MENC’s entries. Look for the results this June!

See below for a complete list of the MENC 2009 BMI John Lennon Scholarship Program State Finalists.

Read the press release announcing the 2009 MENC/BMI John Lennon Scholarship Finalists.
