What is the Summer Choral Institute?
About SCI
The Kansas State University Summer Choral Institute, now in its 41st year, is one of the nation's most unique summer programs for High School Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors.
40 of the nation's top high school choral music students are selected each year to attend the KSU Summer Choral Institute. Students participate in an intensive week of rehearsals, masterclasses, private coachings, musical performances, lectures, piano classes, as well as team-building and character building exercises. The leadership staff of SCI are among the top performers and educators in their respective fields. Students from the Summer Choral Institute continually find that this Institute makes a significant and lasting impact on their lives as musicians and people.
Sponsored by the Master Teacher Institute for the Arts, students accepted into SCI receive a full scholarship which covers all expenses (tuition, room, board, admissions etc.) for the 6 days and 5 nights on the campus of Kansas State University.
