Scholarships

The South Coast Community Chorale is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to spreading the joy of choral music to the greater South Coast community.  Two concerts are held in May for our spring concerts and two concerts are held in December for our winter concerts.   


SCCC began during the summer of 1997 when seven friends got together to work on a project to form a new choral society that would perform classical works as other choral groups do, but would also do a lighter, more contemporary works. Over the years the group has grown to over 60 members from cities and towns throughout the South Coast area.


Through donations, dues, and fundraising, SCCC has established two memorial scholarships:

The Isabel White Memorial Scholarship and the Karen K. Miller Memorial Scholarship 


The scholarships are awarded at one of the SCCC’s spring concerts each year.
