Proficiency in other instruments such as the guitar, saxophone, keyboards and percussion will also be considered. Scholarships range from $500 to $1,000 per semester and will be awarded by the PAC Conjunto Music Program and the Valerio Longoria Memorial Scholarship in the Fall 2009 semester which begins Aug. 24. The Conjunto Music Program at PAC is the only one of its kind at the college and university level in the nation.
