This award, named for the longtime Editor of The Horn Call, Emeritus Dean, and IHS Honorary Member, Paul Mansur , provides opportunities for full-time students attending the IHS international symposium to receive a lesson from a world renowned artist or teacher. These awards are supported by the interest from the Paul Mansur Scholarship Fund.

Award:
Private lesson with a Featured Artist or Advisory Council Member at the IHS international symposium and a one-year IHS membership.

Age Requirements:
One award for full-time students 18 years or younger at the time of the symposium.
One award for full-time student 19-26 years at the time of the symposium.

Application Requirements:
Applications must be submitted to the IHS Executive Secretary on the Paul Mansur Scholarship Application Form, either on paper or by email (available from the address below, or from this web site). Proof of full-time public or private school, conservatory, or university enrollment must be provided at the time of application; students must be enrolled in the academic term immediately preceding the symposium. The application form includes an essay from the applicant on the subject of how attending and receiving a lesson during the symposium will enhance the student’s education.

The preferred language for the application is English; however, an applicant whose native language is not English may submit the application in his/her native language, with an English translation. Applicants may seek and receive outside assistance in completing this translation, but versions in both languages must be submitted.

Judging:
A committee appointed by the IHS President will evaluate the applications. Essays will be evaluated for both content and grammar, so time and care in preparation is encouraged.

Deadlines:
Applications must be received by May 1, 2008. Email submission is encouraged. Mailed applications may take longer than expected to reach Hawaii, so please use first class mail or air mail services.

Applicants will receive notice of the awards by May 30, 2008.

Please note that this award does not include any financial assistance to attend the symposium.

The International Horn Society reserves the right to cancel the final competition or withhold one or more awards if, in the opinion of the judges, conditions warrant such action.
