MVWC 2024 Scholarship Award Recipients

Congratulations to Noelle Larsen and Maria Peterson,  recipients of the Minnesota Valley Women’s Chorale 2024 High School Scholarship. Alexandra and Noelle are both seniors at Eagan High School where they sing in choir under the direction of Amy Atherton and Jim Cox. 

Noelle plans to attend Minnesota State University Moorhead and will  continue singing in various groups. She writes in her application “When I turned 9, I faced the challenge of moving to the United States. Among all my teachers, my choir directors have made the greatest impact, dedicated to caring about their students' success and passion for music.”

Maria plans to attend the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire where she plans to be involved in musical theater and various musical groups. She writes in her application, “Choir has taught me how to stand up for myself, feel my emotions and speak about them, it has taught me how to help others, and overall- how to be a good person.”
