Honors, Scholarships, and Awards
This honor society was founded in 1918 at Northwestern University's Music School. Since then, it has grown to more than 125 chapters in colleges and universities throughout the country. The primary objective of PKL is the recognition and encouragement of the highest level of musical achievement and academic scholarship by recognizing those individuals who have advanced their talents by serious, diligent and intelligent study, thereby setting an example for others to do the same. Consideration for membership in the Delta Rho Chapter at Rowan is based on the following criteria: (1) juniors must be in the upper 10% of their class, seniors must be in the upper 20% of their class, (2) all theory course work must have been completed and (3) scholarly conduct is expected. (4) Graduate students must carry a minimum average of 90 in two-thirds of their course work. The society is governed by the Biennial Convention. Music scholarships from the Department of Music are awarded according to departmental need, individual talent and academic competence, as determined by the Music Scholarship Committee. Amounts and number of awards depend on the monies available in the scholarship fund. This award recognizes significant accomplishment in a Fine and Performing Arts medium. The Dean will ask chairs to supply names of deserving candidates. Student should have a performance level of the highest standard equal to that of any young performer/artist in the United States. Students do not apply. Delaware Valley Musicians Club Scholarships The Delaware Valley Musicians Club Scholarships are awarded to instrumental full-time undergraduate music majors at Rowan University who have demonstrated outstanding ability in music and who have a definite need for financial assistance.
