In 2023, Plano Civic Chorus established a permanent scholarship in memory of Merritt Felmly. Merritt was an inspiring member of the chorus. He was a lifelong singer whose life exemplified the love of choral music and service to others. Merritt used his talent of singing to enrich and bless all who knew him.  Merritt was well loved and loved well. When Merritt was diagnosed with an incurable form of cancer he requested that upon his death donations in his honor be made to Plano Civic Chorus.  These funds were used to establish a scholarship fund set up in perpetuity and to be named:  THE MERRITT FELMLY MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP.

This season, four $1,000 scholarships will be awarded. Two will be awarded to high school seniors and the other two will be awarded to students enrolled in college at any level, freshmen through graduate school. We will also be making a donation of $250 to the school choral programs of the high school winners.
