Alexandra M. Munn Scholarships and John & Andrea Wallin Awards

The Alexandra M. Munn Scholarships honor Alexandra Munn, a teacher and leader in Alberta's musical community for over 60 years and a member of Edmonton's Cultural Hall of Fame. After many years of service to the Winspear Foundation as a grants panel member, the Winspear Foundation established the Alexandra Munn Scholarship Fund at Edmonton Community Foundation to support the arts in greater Edmonton through support of students demonstrating financial need and outstanding talent in classical music performance (vocal and/or instrumental). Applicants will also be automatically considered for the John & Andrea Wallin Awards, which are provided through the generosity of long-time supporters of Edmonton's arts community. These awards support students between the ages of 11 and 15 who are permanent residents or Canadian citizens residing in the greater Edmonton area or studying with a teacher in the greater Edmonton area. Each year typically 4 students receive awards ranging from $500 to $2,000 CAD, though the size and number of awards may vary. Awards are intended to assist recipients with costs related to study of classical music, including lessons, instruments, and other related expenses.
