the Beatrice A. Chauncey Music Scholarship

Beatrice A. Chauncey graduated from the The University of Akron School of Music in 1943. Miss Chauncey pursued graduate education including the master’s and professional diploma at Teachers College, Columbia University, from 1945 to 1948. Bea worked in public school settings in Wyoming, California, and Florida before joining the faculty of East Carolina School of Music in 1949. Miss Chauncey then taught flute at the East Carolina School of Music for 41 years until her retirement in 1990.

The Beatrice A. Chauncey Music Scholarship is intended to bring outstanding students to the School of Music. The Scholarship will enable the director of the School of Music to determine the highest priority scholarship need for the School and recruit the most promising students. Awards may be renewed for the four years of undergraduate study or may be awarded on a one-time basis, at the discretion of the director of the School of Music.
