COLLEGIATE CHAPTER OF DISTINCTION AWARDIn an effort to recognize the hard work and services the state collegiate chapters provide, the Nebraska Music Education Association will recognize chapters that exceed expectations and stand out in promoting the future of music education in Nebraska. In order for the award to be given to the most distinguished chapters each year, as well as making sure our Director of Collegiate Members in the state are functioning in a positive order, all state chapters must provide a brief report of their chapter's endeavors during the previous school year to the Director of Collegiate Members by the extended deadline of May 7th. The Director of Collegiate Members will then pass along copies of the reports to the selection committee that will select the two chapters of distinction. The Director of Collegiate Members will also make copies of the reports and file them away for reference. Chapters are allowed and strongly encouraged to send artifacts such as brochures, flyers, meeting minutes, pictures, etc. along with their reports. This award is given to at least two chapters that best represent three major areas: Chapter Operations, Service, and Professional Development. The selection committee also takes into consideration the presentation/clarity of the report. The 2025 Collegiate Chapter of Distinction Award is awarded to:
STUDENT TEACHER GRANTA minimum of two grants in the amount of $1000.00 each, will be awarded summer 2026 to students enrolled in a Nebraska college or university that has an active NAfME Collegiate student chapter during the 2025-2026 school year.
