National Leadership Fellowship
Now Appointing Student Senators
Two outstanding students from every state will be selected as VMA National Leadership Fellows and will serve as Junior Program Senators. Each Fellow will receive a full scholarship to the Gold Level Leadership Initiative.
As Senators, they’ll lead from the front—representing their state, collaborating with the national Board, and championing classical music as a powerful force for service and connection across the country.
Help Us Build a Nation of Service Through Classical Music.
Will you answer the call?
Lead your state.
The VMA National Leadership Fellowship is a transformative opportunity for young musicians to lead as State Senators, representing their state’s voice, collaborating with the national Board, and inspiring classically trained students to serve through music. Fellows also take an active role in fundraising for VMA, powering programs like Sweet Sounds of Service that help kids perform free classical concerts in senior centers, libraries, and community spaces nationwide—bringing music and compassion to communities across America.
