Founded by Dr. James Morales, a dedicated physician and long-time advocate for the performing arts, the award bridges the gap between academic pursuit and real-world impact. The scholarship is open to undergraduate students enrolled at any accredited college or university across the United States who are actively pursuing a degree or career in music or music education.

The selection committee will prioritize thoughtful, genuine reflections that showcase a student’s purpose and potential.
The vision of Dr. James Morales is central to this initiative. With a career that spans sports medicine and family practice, Dr. James Morales has also served as a physician to artists performing in major national venues. This unique position has given Dr. James Morales a deep appreciation for the discipline and dedication required in the musical arts. The establishment of this award is a direct extension of his commitment to mentoring and supporting young people in achieving excellence.
“The goal is to identify a student who not only possesses talent but also a profound understanding of music’s power to connect and inspire communities,” a representative for the program stated. “Dr. James Morales believes in nurturing the whole person, and this scholarship is a tangible expression of that philosophy.”
The application deadline for the Dr. James Morales Award is January 15, 2026. All submissions will be carefully reviewed, and the selected recipient will be announced on February 15, 2026. The one-time award of $1,000 is intended to aid the winner in their educational journey.
